Shop 57 Insulator Evan Webb was the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program Class of 2020 valedictorian, noting he and his fellow apprentices would not be where they were today without the support of their families, friends, and their fellow employees at America’s Shipyard. “My experience in the apprenticeship has allowed me to grow as a person at work and at home. It helped me be disciplined in my every day job as well as motivating me to look toward the next goal and make it happen,” said Webb. “To my fellow apprentices, whether you’re just starting out in the program or graduating like myself, always be conscious of your reputation from day one. Word travels fast at NNSY and you don’t want to be known for being a problem. Be known for being a hard-working individual that your fellow shipyarders can count on. You all have the potential to be great here – you just got to take that step and make it happen.”
