At Ingalls, we understand that the strength of our workforce is the backbone of our success. As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week from November 17-23, 2024, we recognize the pivotal role our apprenticeship programs play in building the skilled workforce that drives the shipbuilding industry forward, ensuring Ingalls continues to lead the way in craftsmanship, innovation and national defense.

The Ingalls Apprentice School provides individuals with more than just a job; it provides a career path rooted in hands-on experience, mentoring and education. With multiple crafts to choose from, apprentices gain critical skills through a combination of classroom instruction and job rotations. This hands-on approach ensures apprentices not only master their craft but also how their work contributes to the larger mission of building ships that serve and protect our country.

 Shipbuilding isn’t just about building ships; it’s about building careers. Our apprenticeship program provides opportunities for growth within Ingalls. Many of our apprentice graduates go on to assume leadership roles, carrying forward the lessons they’ve learned and helping guide the next generation of shipbuilders.  

Thank you to all current and former Ingalls apprentices, as well as the mentors, instructors and leaders who have dedicated themselves to helping grow and develop these extraordinary shipbuilders
