Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) is always looking for ways to improve its manufacturing processes while educating the workforce and becoming more proficient in repairing and modernizing our Navy’s warships and training platforms.
A recent example of how NNSY is doing this today is through the Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) Program. This program is specifically designed to help adult learners with varying educational and workplace experiences earn the skills necessary to make an immediate impact as a machinist within NNSY. The ATDM curriculum is a 16-week program designed to give machinists the skills and nationally recognized credentials needed for the shipyard and throughout the industry to improve their processes.
