Ingalls Shipbuilding and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Job Corps program, partnered to host a two-day recruiting event last week to offer students a direct career path to a job in the shipbuilding industry.
The event attracted over 120 students from across 20 states who interviewed for positions in key trades, including welding, electrical, and machining. By the event’s conclusion, 68 students received job offers to begin their careers at HII.
Representatives from Ingalls Shipbuilding visited the Mississippi Job Corps Center in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, where they interviewed students from across the country. Students who received job offers were invited to Ingalls the next day, where they completed onboarding activities and received a tour of the shipyard.
