I've been noticing these commercials lately. Apparently there's a program that will train you for four months for specific positions. You just have to be willing to relocate.




The U.S. Navy, along with its shipbuilders and their thousands of specialty suppliers, need more than 100,000 workers to help build attack and ballistic missile submarines over the coming decade.

Building up the workforce is key to the Navy’s 30-year plan to grow to 387 subs and ships, but the problem is hardly confined to the future. In April, for example, Naval Sea Systems Command chief Vice Adm. James Downey said the difficulties in hiring and retaining workers at Fincantieri Marinette Marine’s busy Wisconsin shipyard were contributing to the three-year delay of the $22 billion program guided missile frigate program.

It’s no need to do that, just apply directly to whatever shipyard they would send you to anyway and let them train you while you get paid.

Most have their own Apprenticeship schools/programs.

The spending comes at a critical time for the service. It is not only struggling to build new submarines to replace its own aging fleet, but it's also been tapped to sell some nuclear-powered submarines to Australia as part of a major new international deal

The Truth
Shipyards stay hiring


Worked at one as a contractor a few years back. Most of the people working there were civilian and contractors.

Would never do it again though unless I had to.
