TRAINING FOR NADEP: Blue-collar workers as well as management at Norfolk Naval Aviation Depot are eligible for retraining under a $7 million program announced last week by Old Dominion University. Depot officials said in a news release that some employees of the plant may have misunderstood who can use the federally funded Accelerated Career Transition Education Program. The program will train 750 to 1,000 people a year from throughout the area for supervisory positions in private industry. The depot, ordered shut in the 1993 round of base closings, already offers retraining to displaced workers but they were encouraged to consider ACTE, too. ``Not every program we have available at the program will work for everyone; each employee has a different need,'' said Jean Lamkin, director of the NADEP Training Institute. The depot, which maintains and repairs aircraft, employed 4,300 people before it was ordered closed.
HOLIDAY SOS: Anyone who wants to send season's greetings to sailors at sea may sign one of the giant holiday greeting cards on display at Military Circle Mall in Norfolk. The 28-by-35-inch cards are on display in the center of the mall, near entrance 3, through Tuesday. A different card will be airlifted to each of 14 ships scheduled to be away at holiday time: The carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, guided-missile cruisers Anzio, Cape St. George and Yorktown; guided-missile destroyer Kidd; destroyer Peterson; amphibious assault ship Nassau; amphibious transport dock Ponce; dock landing ship Gunston Hall; destroyer tender Shenandoah; oiler Platt; and attack submarines Boise, Minneapolis St.-Paul and Phoenix.
