Newport News Shipbuilding
Newport News Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, along with several local Virginia community colleges in Hampton Roads have partnered together to offer a three-week Marine Welder Trainee Program.
No experience is necessary! The program is designed to prepare candidates to enter the welding school program at Newport News Shipbuilding. The three-week course will cover safety, an introduction to welding and welding skills, a validation of basic welder competencies, and an evaluation of employability skills. This program is designed to be 90% hands-on, focusing on a candidate's ability to follow verbal and written instruction, display manual dexterity consistent with the welding craft, accomplish specific tasks in a reasonable time, and perform all duties in a safe manner.
