Specialized training programs are becoming essential for companies seeking skilled talent in the submarine industrial base. Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) has become a significant resource for employers in the defense sector, including Trident Refit Facility, Bangor (TRFB), in Silverdale, Washington.
TRFB plays a vital role in maintaining the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet, with strict timelines and high expectations for performance. This intense demand creates a need for a workforce that is not only skilled but also deeply invested in the operational mission. ATDM has become a key solution to meeting this challenge, training workers in the skills required for these critical roles.
By recruiting from ATDM, TRFB and other government organizations can tap into a pool of candidates who have been trained in the exact skills needed for defense manufacturing. So far, TRFB has recruited six students from ATDM.
TRFB invests in its employees’ development, offering training opportunities and advancement without the need for repetitive applications or interviews, making it an attractive option for those looking to grow in their careers. Federal positions in defense manufacturing offer stability that is hard to find elsewhere.
TRFB offers a robust benefits package, including health insurance, retirement matching, and immediate access to perks like free parking and paid holidays.
For students and veterans transitioning to civilian life, the opportunities presented by ATDM and possible employment at TRFB represent not just a job but a secure and fulfilling career path.
Whether you are a student considering your training options or an employer looking for talent, the success stories emerging from ATDM highlight the importance of targeted training programs in shaping a capable workforce for the submarine industrial base.
