Last week, we celebrated our 5th Annual Quonset Point Signing Day, one of our favorite traditions at Electric Boat!
More than 150 students walked across the stage, received their certificates and hard hats, and were officially welcomed to the Electric Boat team as part of the 400 high school seniors who accepted offers at EB Quonset Point this year.
This year's Quonset Point Signing Day represented 85 high schools across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Louisiana, and Virginia - bringing together students from traditional public schools, technical schools, agricultural programs, and homeschool communities. Seeing so many different paths lead to careers in shipbuilding was an incredible reminder that there is no single road to success.
It was an incredible night filled with pride, excitement, and a reminder of just how bright the future of shipbuilding is. Students heard messages of support from leaders across our state and nation, the U.S. Navy, and members of the community, all recognizing the importance of the work these students are about to begin.
A special congratulations to E-Cubed Academy, who took home this year’s Signing Day Award for having the highest percentage of their graduating class accept positions at Electric Boat.
Most importantly, this night was about celebrating the students and everyone who helped them get here, the educators who guided them and the parents and families who supported them.
Thank you to the EB Talent Acquisition team who helped place these students into careers at EB, as well as our Workforce Development team, EB Liaisons, and EB Ambassadors who worked tirelessly behind the scenes building relationships with schools and communities, connecting students with meaningful careers, and working to make this event such a success.
To the next generation of shipbuilders: welcome to Electric Boat. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish.
