On Thursday, May 8, and Saturday May 10, 2025, NNSY People Experience hosted the first two "Find your Path" events with great success. These events were focused on assisting people interested in applying for the NNSY Apprentice Program. At the events, attendees received information on how to apply for the apprentice program, how to sign up for the required Virginia Placement Test (VPT) through Tidewater Community College (TCC), resume and interview tips, and trade information and demostrations. They were also able to attend breakout sessions led by Doreka Porter-Wright and Michael Matusiak. These sessions explained what to expect as an apprentice and included testimonials and Q&A. FLTHRO representatives, Tricia Thompson and Megan Lee and TCC representative, Erin McNair also attended and were able to answer attendees' questions. Tables were set up for Shop 11 Shipfitters, Shop 17 Sheet Metal Mechanics, Shop 31 Machinists, Shop 56 Pipefitters, and Shop 72 Riggers. Representatives from each of these shops had hands-on materials to help showcase their trade, and using their knowledge and experience, were able to answer questions and garner a lot of interest in their shops. Trade representatives included Christin Raynor, Ferdinand VeraCruz, Larry Greenough, Amber Beatty, Chris Fleming, Kareem Thompson, Sean Campbell, Jarrod Ballance, Nino Perkins, Cameron Blaney, Bo Davis, and Michael Tolentino. PE team members in attendance were Ebony Perry, Jamie Trower, Nicholas Boyle, and Christi Claar with registration assistance from Sara Anderson.
NNSY People Experience plans to host more "Find your Path" events focused on a wide variety of potential candidates, from Veterans, entry-level, mid-career, transitioning military, and blue and white-collar positions.
