In January, the Hampton Roads Workforce Council launched the Women in Skilled Careers (WISC) program — a 12-week program offering six training tracks: Maritime Coating, Maritime Electrical, Maritime Welding, Outside Machinist, Sheet Metal Fabrication, and Pipefitting. A partnership with Virginia Ship Repair Association, Tidewater Community College, Thomas Nelson Community College, Camp Community College, United Way of South Hampton Roads, and WHRO, the WISC program provides an opportunity for participants to obtain industry-recognized credentials and receive paid work experience.
