Exciting opportunities are on the horizon for Providence Public School District students! ⚓️💡 Tuesday, Electric Boat hosted an Application Day, and the response was incredible—64 students applied and interviewed, with 48 already accepting offers for careers in welding, pipefitting, machining, and more. From hands-on training to promising futures in the skilled trades, these students are taking the first steps toward building something great. Huge thank you to RINEC for hosting us and to all the school counselors for supporting and encouraging the students. What an inspiring day!

Yesterday, at Westbrook High School, we kicked off the start of many upcoming High School Application Days! It was inspiring to see students from seven Connecticut Shoreline schools showcasing their skills and interviewing with our Talent Acquisition team. Throughout this initiative, we’ll visit schools in Connecticut and Rhode Island, giving students the opportunity to interview for a skilled trades career at Electric Boat after graduation. We’re thrilled to help shape the future of these talented individuals and build a stronger workforce together!

Electric Boat recently had the pleasure of hosting the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston at our #GrotonCT shipyard. President and CEO Susan Collins and her team met with General Dynamics Electric Boat leadership to gain a better understanding of our business and tour the facility. In addition to receiving an overview of our manufacturing pipeline and youth programs, they were able to engage directly with students participating in #GDElectricBoat’s Active Learning Centers and learn how the training programs are transforming the students into proficient #shipbuilders. https://lnkd.in/e5szWs84

After its long service life, General Dynamics Electric Boat’s Graving Dock 3 pontoon left Electric Boat on February 20 and traveled up the Thames River to its new home at Mohawk Northeast, Inc. in Groton. Since its certification, the pontoon launched 18 Ohio, three Seawolf and 14 Virginia-class #submarines. One Los Angeles-class boat, Jacksonville (SSN 699), was launched using the pontoon as a test prior to the launch of SSBN/GN 726, Ohio. After SSN 799 Idaho left the Graving Dock in December 2024, the pontoon was de-certified and preparations began to ready its removal. A new pontoon is being constructed at Bollinger Shipyard in Louisiana and will be installed in #GDElectricBoat’s Graving Dock 3 this summer.

Not many people can say they build nuclear-powered submarines. The passionate and skilled shipbuilders at General Dynamics Electric Boat can. We’re training and inspiring our team, present and future, to build the world’s best submarines for our U.S. Navy. https://lnkd.in/em-nnbfp
