As the demand for nuclear-powered submarines increases, Newport News Shipbuilding said it’s working to hire 3,000 skilled trades workers this year and a total of 19,000 within the decade. Last year, the Hampton Roads Workforce Council reported that the region’s maritime shipbuilding vacancies could increase to 40,000 by 2030 if measures to build capacity weren’t taken, while U.S. Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in December that the U.S. shipbuilding industry will need 150,000 new qualified workers in the next 10 years. As a result, NNS is working with the Navy’s submarine industrial base office and the Hampton Roads Workforce Council to reach potential new employes.
