The Vanguard program continues to empower emerging leaders by equipping foremen with the skills, confidence and mindset needed to take the next step in their leadership journey. Each month, participants dive into training, best practices and real‑world tools designed to strengthen teams and prepare shipbuilders for management positions. Congratulations to our September Vanguard Class for their dedication to growing as leaders and for exemplifying the strong, forward‑focused leadership that drives our shipyard forward!
“I’m grateful for the Vanguard program because I can fall back on things I’ve learned and keep striving towards my leadership goals,” said Raquel Felder, pipe foreman. “Every step you take toward your goals is another step toward succeeding.”
