Apprentice Program History

In 2004, Hanwha Philly Shipyard, established an apprenticeship program to develop the next generation of shipyard skilled workers and leaders. This three-year, time-based competency program takes candidates with little or no experience and trains them up to be multi-skilled employees that can perform successfully in a competitive market and participate in the future success of Hanwha Philly Shipyard.

The program consists of classroom training, plus time performing the duties of their trade, for example through scheduled job rotations. Classroom training includes both lessons in a classroom setting and an independent learning environment. The program is accredited by the State of Pennsylvania and 100% of the cost of related instruction is paid for by Hanwha Philly Shipyard.
