The North Quay shipyard will take on 400 apprentices over the next three years, as orders for ferries and research vessels fill its books until the end of the decade.
Apprentices will train as welders, electricians and engineers, with places reserved for young people from the city's eastern neighbourhoods.
The bank that is financing part of the investment said it expects demand for similar projects to grow across the coast.
Consumers should see the first effects within a year, according to the company, which promised to keep prices stable.
