Shipbuilding/repair employers are experiencing a mass exit of an aging workforce and are desperate to fill these positions with skilled employees. Employers have sought pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship as a strategy to develop a skilled workforce, standardize training, improve employee retention, increase productivity, and strengthen future leadership.

There is a fresh wind blowing in Virginia. This spring, Dominion Energy and Orsted installed the first two offshore wind turbines in Federal waters, located 26 nautical miles off the coast of Virginia Beach.  These turbines are used to research new technologies aimed at lowering the cost of energy production.

The Virginia Ship Repair Association committees provide a space to work together to adress the pitfalls and possibilities that face our local ship repair industry. While the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic prevents these committees from meeting in person we recognize their need now more than ever.
