Our experiences
"What brought me to Norfolk Ship Repair and the Apprentice Program was getting the opportunity to work and go to school at the same time. This is important to me because I can gain a paycheck and pursue an engineering degree at the same time. I think young people should consider this program because it isn’t just a job, it’s a career." – Falon Mason
Lashunta Goodman “The greatest challenge is learning your chosen trade. But, you go to school and have on the job training and learn so many new things. The greatest benefit is knowledge of my chosen trade as well as working with and meeting great people all while enjoying the benefits of a great company.”
