Statement of Work (SOW) Apprentice Program
1. PURPOSE:
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the request for the creation of online academic courses and instructional support by an Educational Institution. The objective is to establish access to accredited, high-quality online academic programs to support the educational advancement of apprentices.
2. BACKGROUND
Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY), a naval industrial facility located in Portsmouth, Virginia, maintains, overhauls, and repairs various vessels of the US Navy. Over 10,000 military and civilian personnel work to “maintain and modernize our Navy’s fleet”. To provide top quality service for the combat war fighter, NNSY must maintain a highly trained and skilled workforce. One of our workforce initiatives is to provide a Federally Registered Apprentice Program.
The Apprentice Program is a planned and progressive, career-related, co-operative education employment program that develops and enhances an apprentice’s knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA’s) as it relates to their chosen trade. NNSY enrolls a new class of Apprentices each year. The academic cycle starts in the first year of the program and will last for two years.
The Apprenticeship at Norfolk Naval Shipyard is a four-year hybrid program with three areas of development, academics, trade theory, and on-the-job learning. This program is conducted in accordance with 29 USC §50 and is certified by the Department of Labor (DOL) which complies with 20 CFR Part 29’s standards. Below is an overview of the requirements:
| 2.1 Receive online academic instruction provided by an accredited Educational | Institution |
| 2.2 Receive trade-based instruction from Government Personnel | |
| 2.3 Develop, apply, refine their KSA’s through On-the-Job (OJL) in scheduled work | experience through the trade’s established key processes. |
| 2.4 Completion of the apprenticeship over the four years is 7200 hours | |
| 2.5 Minimum of 2000 hours of On-the-Job Learning (OJL) | |
| 2.6 Minimum of 144 hours of classroom instruction per apprenticeship year | |
| 2.4 Time Based Program – OJL, Trade Theory and Academics | |
| 2.5 Competency based program – successful completion of competencies Job | Qualification Requirements (JQR’s). |
| 2.6 Anticipated participation in the program is currently projected at 250 students | for 4 sessions per year. |
3. OBJECTIVES:
NNSY requires the services of an accredited Educational Institution to provide formalized academic training and testing, resulting in the apprentices earning an Associate’s degree, AAS, (from the educational institution) and a Trade Technician Career Studies Certification in Maritime Trade Technician (221-746-01) for the apprentice cohort. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, supervision, and equipment necessary to deliver the curriculum detailed in this SOW.
The program is undergoing a significant modernization effort. Therefore, the contractor must be capable of delivering this curriculum in a fully online, synchronous or asynchronous format, while also having the capability to provide in-person instruction at the Government facility, if required by the Government. The contractor must demonstrate the ability to create and adapt courses specifically for the needs of NNSY, which may not be currently available in their standard catalog.
4. SCOPE:
The selected Educational Institution must provide the following:
| 4.1 Provide the Virginia Placement test (VPT) for all applicants | |

| 4.4 Support and guidance for students during the enrollment process | |
| 4.5 Instructional delivery through a secure and user-friendly Learning Management | System (LMS). |
| 4.6 Regular instructor/student engagement and academic progress monitoring | |
