2023 Southwest Regional Apprentice Program Graduation

By SWRMC Public Affairs

Congratulations to the newest graduates of the 2023 Southwest Regional Apprentice Program (SWRAP)! With this graduating class, we have machinists, marine machinery mechanics, marine pipefitters, marine and temporary services electricians, riggers and welders. For those selected to the SWRAP, the first three years are equally divided between trade skill training and college classes, which lead to an associate’s degree at the end of the third year. After successful completion of college and trade courses, emphasis shifts from academics to specific on the job training skills, leading toward the apprentice achieving journey level certification through the Department of Labor and Department of the Navy. This year’s program, we witnessed 16 graduate, with four of the graduates from SWRMC! Bravo Zulu to Justin Knight – Welder, Jesus Vasquez – Marine Machinery Mechanic, Denise Escamilla and Marc Guillermo – Marine Electrician!
