2019年10月11日 - 4:30AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (NYSE:HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding
division hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday for its new
Shipbuilder Academy site in Gulfport.
Shipbuilder Academy was established in 2016 at
Ingalls’ Maritime Training Academy with a mission to provide
enrolled students with a strong foundation in the maritime industry
and fill the current industry skills gap. Through a partnership
with the Gulfport School District, Ingalls is expanding the program
to a new site inside the repurposed Gaston Point Elementary
School.
“Ingalls has been a cornerstone of the Gulf Coast
for more than 80 years, and we want to provide paths for hiring
local talent,” said Brian Cuccias, president of Ingalls
Shipbuilding. “A well-trained workforce is so vital to our
community’s success that Ingalls has created a proactive approach
in helping create meaningful programs that result in job-ready,
skilled graduates. These students become a pipeline for Ingalls and
other companies along the Gulf Coast.”

In addition to the partnership with Gulfport School
District, the new Shipbuilder Academy site received a grant in the
amount of $150,000 from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The grant is
meant to help Gulfport School District and Ingalls increase
workforce development and career pathways by expanding Shipbuilder
Academy across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The program, now entering its fourth year, has
expanded to Mobile County and enrolls students from eight high
schools along the Gulf Coast, including Pascagoula, Gautier, Moss
Point, East Central, Vancleave, St. Martin, Ocean Springs and Alma
Bryant. The Gaston Point site will serve students from an
additional three high schools: Biloxi, Gulfport and Pass
Christian.
