Newport News is defined by one employer more than almost any other city in America — Huntington Ingalls Industries, the nation's largest military shipbuilding company, operates its Newport News Shipbuilding division here and is the city's dominant economic anchor. The shipyard builds nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines for the US Navy, making it one of the most technically complex industrial operations in the country and keeping technical certifications, welding, structural fitting, marine electrical, and engineering training in sustained high demand. The Hampton Roads Workforce Development Council has projected that 40,000 maritime jobs need to be filled in the region over the next ten years — a workforce gap that's driving institutional investment, including a new $9 million trades center built in partnership with the shipyard, the city, and the US Navy's Maritime Industrial Base Program specifically to address it. Defense and aerospace broaden the picture beyond the shipyard — Langley Air Force Base and the region's military ecosystem keep IT, cybersecurity, and technical training active for a workforce with a significant security-cleared employment base. Healthcare is the other major anchor, with Riverside Health System and Bon Secours serving a substantial civilian population and keeping clinical and administrative training in steady demand. Hampton Roads Alliance supported a record $1 billion in capital investment and more than 2,400 new jobs across the region in 2025. The overall Hampton Roads workforce of roughly 895,000 is enriched by transitioning military personnel — a pipeline of technically skilled workers who need civilian credentialing and professional development. TrainUp.com offers instructor-led training across IT, technical, healthcare, and business skills for a market whose industrial heritage and national security mission create some of the most consistent professional training demand in Virginia.
