Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Cooperative Education Training

667 Safeguard Street
PH Naval Shipyard & IMF, Suite 100
Pearl Harbor, HI 96860-5033

The PHNSY-IMF Apprenticeship Training Program is administered through a contract between Honolulu Community College (HonCC) and the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard – Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PHNSY IMF). These guidelines are very specific and must be adhered to in order for the students to be eligible for conversion to career conditional appointments (permanent positions).

The PHNSY Apprenticeship Program incorporates a Learning Community model in which the faculty and Trade Theory instructors collaborate to achieve the Program Learning Outcomes described in the College Catalog. Cooperative Education enables students to apply classroom/lab experiences to actual work performance.

The PHNSY Cooperative Education training sequence includes a minimum of 780 hours of approved PHNSY Trade Theory and General Experience Training (26 credits), Cooperative Education – WORK 194V (10 credits), a minimum of 750 hours of work experience, and 24 credits of general education and technical support courses. PHNSY Trade Theory and General Experience Training are converted to credits upon completion of certification (30 training hours = 1 credit). This curriculum qualifies participants for conversion to career conditional appointment (full-time permanent employment) and also satisfies the requirements of the Honolulu Community College Associate in Applied Science Degree in Applied Trades.
