The move aligns with President Trump’s executive order “Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance.”
The Department of Labor announced that $8 million in grants will be made available on September 24 to support the U.S. shipbuilding industry. These grants will support technical training centers and community colleges in the United States with similar education programs in allied countries, including South Korea and Japan. This funding is being distributed in accordance with the executive order “Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance.”
“Working closely with our allies will advance the Department of Labor’s mission to create effective shipbuilding apprenticeship programs right here in the United States,” said Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. “We are committed to helping President Trump restore maritime dominance by preparing American workers for success, which will lead to more mortgage-paying jobs and enhance national security.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Chavez-DeRemer to be prudent as she oversees the funding grants to support shipbuilding.
- For U.S. labor officials as they seek to support apprenticeship in the shipbuilding industry.
