Executive VP BOLLINGER SHIPYARDS

摘要

The marine business is a rather close-knit fraternity, but its one that accepts women. Since 1946, Bollinger Shipyards has ridden the tide in the development of the oil and gas industry, as well as maintaining a viable business with the United States Government. Our company continues to grow and improve. We have five new larger dry docks and the largest capital expansion in the company's history. Our biggest concern now is finding a skilled workforce to carry out and accomplish the work that lies ahead. In recent years, I've been focused on workforce development and vocational training in high schools. The Bollinger family is very involved with encouraging this type of high school redesign-where vocational training will take place. My hope is that the 80% of students who do not plan on earning a college degree, will become aware of the opportunities that await them in our industry. Right here in Louisiana we have 100,000 openings for good paying jobs.
