  • Naval Joining and Non-Destructive Evaluation Requirements

  • Applied Skills in Current and Emerging Technologies for Trades Professionals

  • Manual, Mechanized, Robotic, and Solid State Techniques for Welders

  • Non-Destructive (Surface & Volumetric) and Destructive Testing Methods

We Serve:

​

  • Academia - Colleges and Universities (2 year and 4 year institutions) 

  • Transitioning Veterans 

  • Commercial Welders and Inspectors 

  • Underrepresented individuals in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)

  • Materials, Welding, and NDT engineering students

Mission

The mission of NWI is to develop sustainable human capital (transitioning veterans and civilians), specifically trained to advanced Naval fabrication and inspection 

methods, with universal marketability, affording 

immediate placement at any public or private organization supporting manufacture or repair.

Vision
