APPLETON, Wis. (February 22, 2019) —Navy Recruiting District (NRD) Chicago Commanding Officer Joseph D. Scott and Navy Recruiters from Navy Recruiting Station (NRS) Green Bay and NRS Appleton attended the SkillsUSA Regional Competition Friday, February 22, 2019 at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wisconsin.
“The goal today is to provide Navy opportunities to the participants here at the Fox Valley Regional competition,” said Navy Recruiter Operations Specialist Petty Officer First Class Shawn Pritchard.
Pritchard said there were many openings available in the Navy nuclear engineering program, as well as other high-demand technical fields.
High School students from across the state of Wisconsin attended the event to compete in areas of technology and engineering.
“Right now this nation needs these skills more than ever,” said Scott during his opening remarks.
Scott said the Navy provides a chance for these students to not only serve their country, but to further the skills they have learned.
Scott said that as Sailors, they will be able to continue their training and further future careers both in and out of the Navy.
NRD Chicago’s mission is to recruit men and women who meet mental, moral, physical and other specific standards for enlistment and obtaining the best qualified applicants from civilian sources for enlisted and officer candidates.
