HII Partnerships Celebrate Workforce Development Milestones
2023年10月19日 - 11:00PM
Two HII (NYSE: HII) partnerships recently celebrated important
milestones that illustrate HII’s commitment to building and
supporting the education and training of a future nuclear
workforce.
The Newport News Nuclear BWXT (N3B) Nuclear Operator
Apprenticeship Program (NOAP) in Los Alamos, New Mexico hosted
graduation ceremonies for students. N3B is a joint venture owned by
HII Nuclear, a business unit of HII, and BWX Technologies, and
executes the Los Alamos Cleanup Contract for the Department of
Energy (DOE).
In addition, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) began its
twentieth apprenticeship program with the introduction of a new
mechanical engineering discipline. SRNS, a Fluor and HII joint
venture, is responsible for the management and operations of DOE’s
Savannah River Site, located near Aiken, South Carolina.
These apprenticeship programs illustrate HII’s significant
investments in local communities to build the skilled and motivated
workforce required to ensure nuclear programs protect the community
and environment surrounding the nuclear site.

“Investing in workforce development to safely and successfully
support all aspects of nuclear projects is of vital importance to
HII for multiple reasons, spanning from environmental stewardship,
to economic growth to societal well-being,” stated Michael Lempke,
president, HII Nuclear. “For nations and companies alike,
sustainable growth is reliant on a constantly evolving workforce
that can meet current demands and anticipate future
challenges.”
The N3B apprenticeship program began in 2020 and is offered in
conjunction with the Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) and its
applied science in nuclear operations associate degree program. N3B
pays tuition and related education expenses for its apprentices who
earn that degree.
NNMC developed its associate degree program in partnership with
N3B and incorporated the curriculum into the apprenticeship
program.
The two recent graduates of the NNMC program are full-time N3B
employees who received full employment benefits during their
on-the-job training. They will now monitor safety compliance,
support daily operations, and manage inspections as part of the
DOE’s commitment to clean up legacy waste at Los Alamos National
Laboratory (LANL).
The SRNS apprenticeship program and the new mechanical
engineering discipline are part of an ongoing commitment to create
innovative workforce development at SRS. The Mechanical Engineering
Apprenticeship Program is designed for college students who are
enrolled in an accredited engineering degree program. Students
receive paid on-the-job experience while completing approximately
1,000 hours per year on competency-based and job-related training.
Graduates from the apprenticeship program receive a nationally
recognized credential from the U.S. Department of Labor and an
opportunity of full-time employment with SRNS.
“As the largest employer in many of the communities in which we
operate, HII believes that businesses share in the responsibility
of developing a skilled workforce. We prioritize attracting,
training and retaining top talent to deliver on our critically
important missions,” Lempke stated.
Across the company HII invests more than $110 million a year in
workforce development, education and training initiatives,
including:
- Apprentice schools at our Newport News and Ingalls
Shipyards
- Academic partnerships with two- and four-year colleges and
universities
- Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) investments in
elementary, middle and high schools.
