We were proud to welcome students from Kempsville High School and Green Run Collegiate to CROFTON as part of a Virginia Maritime Association workforce development event.
The students have been exploring Hampton Roads’ maritime industry through visits to facilities including Q.E.D. Systems, Inc., Nauticus, and The Port of Virginia. At CROFTON, they got a closer look at the hands-on careers that keep the maritime industry moving.
They stepped into the crane cab and got to pull the levers themselves, met with our dive equipment team to learn about dive equipment and safety, and got an up-close look at cofferdams, our dive training tank, and decompression chambers. They even watched a diver suit up and enter the tank.
We’re proud to help give the next generation a firsthand look at the career opportunities within Hampton Roads’ maritime industry.
A big thank you to the Virginia Maritime Association for coordinating this experience and to the students for bringing their curiosity and enthusiasm!
