PASCAGOULA, Miss., Aug. 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) held a graduation ceremony Saturday for graduates of Ingalls Shipbuilding’s Apprentice School. The ceremony celebrated the accomplishments of 45 students representing various crafts at Ingalls.


“Knowing that you’ve helped build these ships as they sail away and join the fleet should make you and your family proud—every day,” said Capt. Joe Tuite, commanding officer, Supervisor of Shipbuilding Gulf Coast, the ceremony’s featured speaker. “Every bolt, every hose and every pipe will have been carefully placed by you and the Ingalls team. As those banners in the shipyard say: Know that what you do most certainly matters. It matters to your partners at Supervisor of Shipbuilding Gulf Coast, who work alongside you to provide the Navy with the finest seaworthy ships. It matters to the parents of every sailor and every Marine, who trust their sons and daughters to your handiwork. And it matters to every American who sleeps better knowing our troops deploy with the most state-of-the-art vessels on the seas.”

Since 1952, the Apprentice School has produced more than 4,000 graduates in support of Ingalls’ operational needs. The program offers a comprehensive two- to four-year curriculum for students interested in shipbuilding careers.

“As you go to work next week as an apprentice graduate, I would like to challenge you to choose to make a difference and make sure what you do each day matters,” said Ingalls Shipbuilding President Brian Cuccias. “You have already chosen to start down the path to be an Ingalls leader, and your future is bright and full of tremendous opportunities. You are the future of Ingalls Shipbuilding. Ingalls is great, not just because of the facilities, but because of the people. The people make Ingalls special.”

More than 60 faculty and staff deliver 13 programs and over 120 course offerings to apprentices to gain not only the skills, knowledge and pride of workmanship, but also the educational foundation and personal qualities needed to fully meet the challenges of a shipbuilding career. Today more than 1,500 apprentice alumnae fill approximately 50 different types of jobs at Ingalls, from pipe welders to senior executives.

“The slogan ‘What you do today matters’ means the job you perform should last a lifetime,” said welder Jason Carter, the class’ outstanding apprentice of the year. “The quality you put down today might affect somebody’s life or a crew’s life somewhere in the future. We’re building ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard to protect our country. That matters.”

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division donated training materials to the Southern Carolina Regional Development Alliance (SCA) for a welding program in Allendale County, S.C., this morning.

The SCA’s Advanced Manufacturing Skills Training Program has already provided 47 students with welding training. The SCA is now working to expand the program by implementing curricula developed and used by Newport News Shipbuilding. In addition to the training materials presented to the SCA today, a shipyard welding instructor will work with the training facility to implement the curricula.

“Newport News Shipbuilding has found that by working closely and sharing some of our training materials with local community colleges and technical schools, we create a richer pipeline of talent applying for career opportunities with our company,” said Bill Docalovich, Newport News’ director of trades services.

Going beyond basic instruction, the curricula supplied by Newport News includes computer-based training followed by hands-on practice led by facility instructors. The instructors will have the opportunity to learn Newport News’ instructional style and use it with their students. With Newport News’ influence, the students will develop the skills necessary for welding in the manufacturing industry.

Newport News opened a field office in Aiken, S.C., in January as part of its continuing efforts to expand the company’s business in the Department of Energy and commercial energy markets. The office focuses on marketing professional services to the Savannah River Site as well as the regional commercial nuclear industry and is capable of providing any skill-set necessary to design, plan, construct and test large, complex nuclear projects.

Jill O’Donnell, Newport News’ manager of nuclear engineering projects, who oversees the Aiken office, said the curricula donation demonstrates the company’s commitment to the community. “Since opening the office, we have looked for ways to invest in workforce development in this region,” she said. “The Advanced Manufacturing Skills Training Program is a great fit for the type of expertise we can contribute, and we look forward to continuing to work with the SCA and the counties they serve.”

Danny Black, president and CEO of SCA, added, “Several recent professional studies have indicated the need for thousands of welders and pipefitters in the Carolinas and Georgia over the next five to 10 years. With assistance from Newport News, the facility’s welding program will help prepare the next generation of welders meet this growing need.”

PASCAGOULA, Miss., June 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ingalls Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII), is doing its part to fight obesity and bolster the health of its employees. The shipyard’s health-conscious changes have helped it succeed as a Platinum Fit-Friendly Worksite.

Fit-Friendly Worksites are recognized by the American Heart Association as employers who go above and beyond when it comes to employee health. These companies offer both nutritional services and physical activities aimed at supporting the employees’ health.

“We are honored to receive this award,” said Edmond E. Hughes, Ingalls’ vice president of human resources and administration. “There were only four companies in the state of Mississippi to earn a Platinum status, so we are part of a very selective group in the state. We encourage healthy lifestyle choices through various initiatives, including our fitness center, healthy choices on the cafeteria menu, our 5K on the Causeway event, biannual racquetball tournaments and the 10-week Active for Life fitness challenge sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Personally, I participate in many of these events and encourage our shipbuilders to do the same.”

Ingalls applied to be a Fit-Friendly Worksite for the second year in a row and recently was awarded a Platinum status. This status is given to worksites that implement physical and nutrition activities and demonstrate a behavior change or a cost savings outcome due to its wellness culture.

“Receiving this recognition for a second consecutive year is a testament of our continued commitment to the health and well-being of our employees and families,” said Wendy Gruich, Ingalls’ manager of health services. “Through our HealthWaves Wellness Program and on-site fitness center, employees are offered a variety of services, tools and health education to improve, manage and sustain good health.”

The American Heart Association’s goal is to reduce the rate of death by cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent and to improve the heart health of all Americans by 20 percent by the year 2020. For helping work toward this goal as a Fit-Friendly Worksite, Ingalls received an official recognition letter and recognition plaque.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 18, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) hosted a STEM Workforce Call-to-Collaboration conference this week to help increase the quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and the quantity of STEM-educated graduates for the future workforce. The two-day conference featured insight from HII President and CEO Mike Petters, Newport News Shipbuilding President Matt Mulherin and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who provided a keynote address via video.

Sponsored by the National Defense Industrial Association and the Aerospace Industries Association, the quarterly Call-to-Collaboration meetings aim to foster regional and statewide communication between education stakeholders and STEM employers such as HII. The goal of the conference is to explore ways of partnering with elementary, secondary and post-secondary education to produce the 21st century STEM workforce.

Petters spoke on business growth, the economic engine and workforce development, putting emphasis on the early stages of the education pipeline. “Invest in the value stream early; you’ll get a return,” he said. “Play the long game in education. Start early in the pipeline, in preschool education and early childhood education. We need to get folks interested in engineering in fifth, sixth and seventh grade, yet if they’re not reading by the time they’re in third grade, we won’t get to them.”

Later in the conference, Warner delivered a videotaped address focused on supporting STEM at both the state and federal education levels. Warner stressed that STEM education goes beyond just an undergraduate degree. “STEM means more than just four-year college degrees in what we traditionally know as science, technology, engineering and math fields,” he said. “We’ve got to realize that STEM includes folks coming out of apprenticeship programs. It means community college education, and it does mean undergraduate and graduate level programs.”

Ed Swallow, chairman of the National Defense Industrial Association’s STEM workforce division, emphasized STEM’s importance in future generations’ education systems. “STEM is critically important to the aerospace and defense industry at large because you have a huge problem coming up with retiring baby boomers,” Swallow said. “If you look, 31 percent of the current aerospace and defense workforce is eligible for retirement right now, and that’s expected to grow to over 40 percent in the next 10 to 15 years. So we’ve got to be reaching out to kids in the K-to-5 range right now because that’s going to be the workforce of the future. We need a more diverse workforce, and that’s why we’re looking at places where there are strong NDIA chapters and strong aero and defense clusters so we can get industry, academia, government, K to 12 organizations and parents together in meetings like this so we can get a dialog going about how to partner across the entire spectrum of stakeholders.”
