Objective:
The project developed resources needed for a competent new shipbuilding industry workforce by teaming shipyards with learning institutions and other workforce stakeholders to synthesize management tools, learning services and enabling technology. The goals of this project were to adapt existing NSRP skill standards to web-based technology that other complex industries such as aerospace use to manage their workforce skills; determine a representative core knowledge course catalog and trainer skill set that effectively connects shipyards and community colleges; and develop a methodology to adapt existing Manufacturing Skill Standards Council entry-level skill standards to shipbuilding and repair in ways that will assure a return on investment.
