Strengthening the Maritime Industrial Workforce Without Adding Recruiting Costs

Across the Maritime Industrial Base (MIB), skilled talent shortages are putting pressure on shipbuilding timelines, production capacity, and long-term operational readiness. From skilled trades to technical and operations roles, workforce gaps are making it harder for suppliers to keep pace with demand.

Rather than relying on traditional recruiting models that add cost and complexity, MIB suppliers now have access to a funded workforce solution designed specifically to address these challenges.
