That is roughly the same number of employees who built submarines there at the peak of the Cold War.<\/p>\n<p>Rhode Island&#8217;s economy has struggled to rebound since the Great Recession. The state&#8217;s unemployment rate is 8.2 percent, considerably above the national average of 6.3 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The construction contract has not yet been awarded, but Electric Boat anticipates receiving it. The Groton, Connecticut-based manufacturer recently leased an additional 42 acres in the Quonset Business Park to expand. Davies said he is focused on ensuring the company&#8217;s training programs can handle the influx of new hires because few job applicants have experience in the manufacturing trades. Electric Boat, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. of Falls Church, Virginia, employs more than 12,000 people, mainly in Connecticut and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>Construction is expected to begin in 2021 on a class of 12 ballistic-missile submarines to replace the current Ohio-class boats. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Electric Boat could hire more than 1,000 people in a single year at its manufacturing plant after construction is underway<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t literally put all of our eggs in one basket, but without submarine construction here, we would be in a much worse economic situation, and we would have a much less hopeful outlook,&#8221; said U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That work is very, very significant,&#8221; said Molly Donohue Magee, executive director of the Southeastern New England Defense Industry Alliance. &#8220;And it&#8217;s not just for one year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the last four years, 2,000 people were hired by Electric Boat in Rhode Island largely because Congress approved building two attack submarines a year instead of one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Davies said he wants to support the community by hiring Rhode Island residents to work on the new submarine, but it is has been challenging to find enough people with the necessary skills.<\/p>\n<p>Leonard Lardaro, an economics professor at the University of Rhode Island, said the state&#8217;s unemployment rate has remained high and persistent because of its inadequately skilled workforce.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The New England Institute of Technology worked with Electric Boat to develop a curriculum for welders, and most of the graduates in the first class were hired at the shipyard, Davies said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"font: 10pt\/normal sans-serif; width: 1px; height: 1px; text-align: left; color: #000000; text-transform: none; overflow: hidden; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;\">Read more here:<\/div>\n<p>To read the entire story visit NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I.: Submarine maker plans expansion in Rhode Island &#8211; Business Breaking News &#8211; MiamiHerald.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>For more information about Associate, Bachelor and\u00a0Master&#8217;s\u00a0degrees, call Admissions at 800-736-7744 ext. 3357 or email <\/em><\/span><\/strong><a href=\"mailto:性视界传媒Admissions@neit.edu\">性视界传媒Admissions@neit.edu<\/a>\u00a0or <strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">for additional information about the SAMI program, call 800-736-7744 ext. 3700 or email <\/span><\/strong><a href=\"mailto:info@samiri.org\">info@samiri.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New England Tech continues to work to help fill the #SkillsGap with Associate, Bachelors and Master\u00a0degrees, including helping Electric Boat fill positions it has otherwise [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[245,63],"tags":[],"resource_tags":[],"academic_category":[],"class_list":["post-8317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cti","category-marine-technology"],"acf":[],"qubely_featured_image_url":null,"qubely_author":{"display_name":"Sarah Byrne","author_link":"https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/author\/sbyrne"},"qubely_comment":0,"qubely_category":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/blog\/category\/cti\" rel=\"category tag\">CTI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neit.edu\/blog\/category\/marine-technology\" rel=\"category tag\">Marine Technology<\/a>","qubely_excerpt":"New England Tech continues to work to help fill the #SkillsGap with Associate, Bachelors and Master\u00a0degrees, including helping Electric Boat fill positions it has otherwise [&hellip;]","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
