November 03 2023 - 12:00PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division continues to
make progress in the area of workforce development acceleration,
and is meeting hiring demand for skilled trades positions through
community outreach efforts and on-site hiring events.
The shipyard recently participated in the What’s Next for
Success Foundation career and job fair held at the Hampton Roads
Convention Center. Hundreds of people, including local high school
students, met with NNS talent acquisition representatives to learn
about career opportunities at the shipyard, which is Virginia’s
largest industrial employer.
Additionally, attendees were able to tour the shipyard’s digital
shipbuilding mobile experience trailer, interacting with the tools
used by HII’s next generation workforce. Sharing the digital
transformation taking place within the company, attendees
experienced the visual work instructions on tablets used in the
shipyard, as well as a welding simulator, laser scanning and
virtual reality and augmented reality.

rewarding careers.”
