Description

Shipfitter apprentices contribute to all structural phases of the ship’s hull construction, including fabrication, assembly and alignment of the ship structures. They build in-place all interior structures, hatches, doors, and bulkheads to complete the steel work of the ship and gain experience in aircraft carrier and submarine construction and aircraft carrier overhaul.

World Class Shipbuilder Curriculum (WCSC)

The WCSC supports the entire apprentice program by providing each apprentice with the technical knowledge required for the mastery of a trade, and an opportunity to obtain an associate degree in business administration, engineering technology, or engineering. The curriculum provides the educational foundation necessary for continued growth throughout a career.
