In general, shipyards sponsor apprentices to develop skills that help them become
welders, electricians, machinists, journeymen, plumbers, steamfitters, sheet metal
fabricators, carpenters, riggers, and other positions in marine construction. Click
here for other technical leads for shipyard jobs. Shipyard apprenticeships and
internships usually require basic skills and aptitude for science, math, and
technology.

This is necessary because the technical demands for these positions require
proficiency in taking measurements, reading decimals, and understanding
fractions. Workers in the technical trades often use micrometers, calipers, and other
precision measurement instruments that require basic arithmetic skills. For CNC
equipment, such as numerically controlled lathes and metal cutting equipment,
interns and apprenticeships could benefit by holding computer skills and data entry
skills.

The tugboat Pacific Queen escorts the USS Princeton in San Diego, California from its base to
a shipyard for maintenance. The Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser is powered by four
General Electric LM 2500 gas turbines, whose combined 80,000 horsepower output turns two
shafts to produce a top speed of 30 plus knots. Visible above the tugboat's fantail is the forward
Mk45 5" gun, capable of hurling a 70 pound shell out of its barrel at 2,500 feet per second, for an
effective range of approximately 13 nautical miles. (US Navy)

Apprenticeships are highly sought after in this lean job market. We'd like to bring
your attention to apprenticeships at Huntington Ingalls Industries , builders of the
9,600 ton cruiser pictured above.
