BuildSubmarines.com Reaches One Million Apply Clicks, Marking a Major Milestone in Workforce Recruitment
August 30, 2024 – BlueForge Alliance proudly announces that BuildSubmarines.com has surpassed over one million apply clicks within its career portal, a clear indication of the growing interest in skilled trades and the pursuit of purpose-driven careers.
BuildSubmarines.com serves as the central hub for recruiting the 140,000+ workers needed to build and sustain the U.S. Navy’s fleet of nuclear-powered submarines. This platform connects individuals with stable, impactful career opportunities that directly contribute to the Navy’s ambitious goal of adding three submarines annually—one Columbia-Class and two Virginia-Class—through its “1+2” plan.
In September 2023, BlueForge Alliance relaunched BuildSubmarines.com in partnership with ZipRecruiter, introducing a new career portal that provides real-time access to thousands of job opportunities across more than 15,000 suppliers nationwide. Since the relaunch, more than 40,000 candidates have created custom profiles, enabling them to apply for multiple positions with ease. This expanded access not only benefits job seekers but also simplifies the process for suppliers to find skilled candidates through ZipRecruiter’s extensive marketplace.
The website also features a new dedicated training platform, offering pathways for the next generation of trade talent in critical specialties. With training programs across all 50 states, aspiring professionals can quickly gain the skills and certifications needed to launch their careers in areas such as additive manufacturing, CNC machining, non-destructive testing, metrology, welding, and more.
Achieving the one million clicks milestone was made possible not only through our partnership with ZipRecruiter but also through the success of our “We Build Giants” and “Built to Last” national marketing campaigns. These efforts have significantly amplified awareness of BuildSubmarines.com and the numerous opportunities it offers for meaningful, purpose-driven careers.
