NNS Internships
What does it mean to be an intern at Newport News Shipbuilding, Newport News?
Overall, this internship influenced my decision to become an Electrical Engineer.
– Jaymes Berry, Senior, Heritage HS
I will share with students that the shipyard is not just about building ships and there are many other jobs here at NNSB to explore. I will also talk to my students about the Apprentice School and have students explore this as an opportunity and/or an option after high school.
