Aker Philadelphia Shipyard established an apprenticeship program to develop the next generation of shipyard leaders. Begun in 2004, this three-year time based competency program takes candidates with little or no experience and trains them to be multi-skilled employees. The program consists of classroom training plus time performing the duties of their trade. The program is registered with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

The Philadelphia Metal Trades Council and Aker Management formed a Joint Apprenticeship Committee (JAC) to oversee the apprentice process.

Aker Philadelphia Shipyard will gladly accept resumes to keep on file for future openings.
