As part of our inaugural Education Partnership Summit, educators and educational partners had a unique opportunity to step beyond the
classroom and inside General Dynamics Electric Boat’s Groton shipyard.
During the tour, attendees experienced firsthand the incredible scale, technology, precision, and craftsmanship behind building our nation’s submarines. From seeing active learning centers where the next generation of shipbuilders are developing their skills to witnessing the work taking place throughout the shipyard, the experience offered a unique perspective on the opportunities available at Electric Boat.
For educators helping students navigate their futures, seeing these career pathways come to life makes the connection between education and industry even more meaningful.
Because when educators see what’s possible, they can help students envision what’s next.
Thank you to the many Electric Boat team members who helped bring this experience to life!
Why this matters for talent
General Dynamics Electric Boat's inaugural Education Partnership Summit brought educators and partners into its Groton shipyard, the third post this week on the same workforce pipeline theme. Electric Boat lists 192 open roles on the board. Taken together with the company's other posts this week, this signals a sustained, organized push to build a skilled trades and engineering pipeline ahead of submarine production ramp.
