You have to grow them through the regional workforce development centers. You have to grow them to the apprentice school. We have to grow them to the community colleges. You have to grow them in the high schools and establish programs,” Kastner said.“People through the pipeline tend to stay more because they chose it as a career. They understand how hard it is, but they just didn’t apply and show up and think they could go and be a shipbuilder.”</blockquote>
