Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School has launched the Ray Bagley Innovation Lab, a mobile laboratory designed to introduce K-12 students and new apprentices to the various trades involved in building ships. The lab covers all 19 trades offered by the school and is intentionally mobile so that it can be used in a variety of settings, such as community events and high school career days. The lab has been funded by Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), Verizon, and BayPort Credit Union, and is part of HII’s efforts to train and develop the next generation of shipbuilders. The Newport News Shipbuilding Apprentice School offers tuition-free apprenticeships in 19 trades, and is accredited by the Council for Occupational Education. Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc
