Yesterday, Hanwha Philly Shipyard (HPSI) was proud to welcome guests from the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBX), including Mike Rowe and representatives from Build Freedom, a national workforce development initiative focused on strengthening America’s skilled-trades workforce, for a tour of our Shipyard.
During the visit, Mike Rowe toured the Shipyard and met with our apprentices at the HPSI Training Academy, where he learned more about the skilled trades that help power the future of U.S. shipbuilding.
Engagements like this help foster collaboration across industry and workforce development partners as HPSI continues to advance the future of U.S. shipbuilding while creating opportunities for the skilled workforce that will support America’s maritime and industrial future.
