CHARTED: Meet the Pros — Building & Repairing

Every great ship depends on skilled professionals who know how to build, maintain, and repair it. Could you be one of them?

Join us aboard Battleship IOWA for CHARTED: Meet the Pros — Building & Repairing, part of our Maritime Pathways career exploration series. Students will connect with skilled tradespeople, shipbuilding and repair professionals, apprenticeship programs, and educational organizations to discover careers that combine technical knowledge with hands-on skills.

Explore opportunities in welding, metal fabrication, electrical work, ship maintenance, construction, and industrial repair. Learn how apprenticeships, vocational training, and technical education can open doors to rewarding careers in the maritime industry and beyond.

If you enjoy working with your hands, solving problems, or seeing the results of something you’ve built, discover how your skills can help shape the future of the maritime workforce.
