The NSRI #strategicdeterrence interns focused on research for joint electromagnetic spectrum operations (JEMSO) recently presented to Lockheed Martin leaders. Gael Perez, an electrical engineering major at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said he and his peers considered the experience a "pivotal moment" in their professional development. Their research aims to create technology that will significantly reduce or eliminate unwanted radio frequency (RF) signals within a defined spectrum. Considering how crowded the RF environment is becoming with wireless communications, doing this will better improve both the clarity and reliability of priority DOD signals. The interns' presentation was a culmination of weeks of preparation, and the feedback from Lockheed Martin was constructive and encouraging, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement. It emphasized the importance of continuous improvement and storytelling in presentations and motivated the interns to enhance their skills further, incorporating feedback into practice sessions, focusing on audience engagement, and seeking guidance to ensure impactful presentations. "Beyond developing our professional skills, this experience underscored the value of collaboration and teamwork," Gael said. "By pooling our diverse expertise and perspectives, we were able to craft a presentation and a well-detailed conference paper that was greater than the sum of its parts. "Working at NSRI has been an incredible journey, particularly in presenting complex briefings to industry leaders with the guidance of our coordinator, Chris Luther. His expertise has been instrumental in refining our presentations to meet high standards." --- More details about this summer's NSRI interns ➡ https://lnkd.in/g88vwTfe. 📸 NSRI interns with Maj.

Part 5/1: 5: ### In Depth: The Specialization Saga Dr. Arya, with her pioneering vision, identified early on the necessity for deep specialization within the broad spectrum of tactical education. Her program, "In Depth: The Specialization Saga," was designed to address this need, offering students the opportunity to dive deeply into specific areas of tactical and strategic studies. This initiative wasn't just about producing well-rounded tacticians; it was about forging experts with deep, focused knowledge in their chosen fields. The Specialization Saga began with a comprehensive assessment of modern warfare and peacekeeping needs. Dr. Arya collaborated with military experts, academicians, and technologists to identify key areas where specialized knowledge could significantly impact outcomes. These areas included cyber warfare, psychological operations, logistics and supply chain management, and unmanned systems, among others. Dr. Arya's curriculum was structured to provide a foundational understanding of general tactics and strategy before allowing students to branch out into their areas of specialization. This approach ensured that all students possessed a solid tactical grounding, on top of which they could build their specialized expertise. The specialization phase was immersive, involving advanced simulations, project work, and internships with military and defense organizations. One of the hallmark features of the Specialization Saga was its emphasis on real-world applications. Dr. Arya arranged for students to work on live projects, often in collaboration with defense contractors and military research institutions. These projects allowed students to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges, ranging from developing cyber defense strategies to designing logistical solutions for conflict zones.

According to LinkedIn's 2023 Veteran Opportunity Report, veterans bring an incredible wealth of education, skills, and experience to the table. Yet, their military background often goes undervalued in the civilian workforce, leaving both veterans and employers at a disadvantage. Despite having nearly twice the work experience of non-veterans, veterans are only half as likely to reach director or vice president leadership roles. This highlights a significant gap in recognizing the leadership potential of veterans. Leadership is one of the top skills honed by veterans during their service, yet it's not always fully utilized by employers. Other highlights include: · Only 5% of Veterans are getting internships while in college (Compared to 30% of non-veterans Veterans have many of today's most in-demand skills, with their first roles after the military often being in high-skilled jobs Veterans are less likely than nonveterans to leave their first job within 6 months https://lnkd.in/gTMmQ7A

Demographic Data: Data show there are 82.5% men and 17.5% women, with a demographic mix that mirrors the general population. All of these military people have attributes, experience, skill sets, and a proven track record that employers need. Source: https://lnkd.in/eygjBZ3E RTHP Recruiting Data: Our internal data show that 500 (33%) are considering a Skillbridge internship with employers and 600 (40%) intend to use fully-funded education benefits at some point now or in the future. For Employers: Skillbridge is a military version of an internship, apprenticeship, and training program that lowers costs, eliminates hiring risk, improves talent, and accelerates time to productivity. The most common categories we have engaged with so far in 2024: Junior/Senior Project Managers. Finance. Logistics. Supply chain. Skilled Trades. Engineers. Cyber. IT. Leadership. Training. Congressional and Government Affairs. Medical. For Learning Institutions: with a demographic and demand cliff already affecting enrollments, it makes sense to attract fully-funded students now for Academic Year 2025-2026 and beyond. We have established digital marketing and in-person talent recruitment for military-connected students – have you? If your institution only focuses on the GI Bill but doesn’t know about 3 other key sources of Department of Defense or Veterans Administration funding, ask Return To Home Port™!

Have you seen the recently released 2023 Veteran Opportunity Report? Based on LinkedIn data and insights, it highlights common challenges that Veterans face during post military transition, such as: * Low internship rates * Underappreciated military experience * Persistent retention myths This comprehensive study provides policymakers and employers with important information to help shape Veteran-friendly hiring practices, policies, and programs. According to the report's findings, Veterans bring highly sought-after skills to their first civilian job and have higher retention rates within the first six months compared to non-Veterans. Despite these advantages, Veterans face challenges gaining leadership positions in companies generally not valuing military experience as much as non-military work experience. Read the complete report, here https://bit.ly/47L7lcA. To learn how to incorporate these findings into your company’s Veteran-hiring initiative, contact Vanguard Veteran at https://bit.ly/42bQcqu Join the Veteran Champion Movement.

SkillBridge intern with Sierra Nevada Corp | Chief of Future Operations Planning @ United States Air Force Academy Admissions | National Security Studies | Planner | International Relations | Program Management
🚀 Exciting Times Ahead! 🚀 Reflecting on my 24-year journey in the Air Force, I’m filled with gratitude for the opportunities it provided. Enlisting in 2000, the Air Force allowed me to find stability while exploring various roles, which was crucial for someone who had 12 jobs before enlisting! The military helped me discover my strengths and passions. Education has been another incredible benefit. Through on-the-job training and Tuition Assistance, I earned 2 Associate’s degrees, a Bachelor’s degree, and 2 Master’s degrees, mostly without cost. Now, as I prepare to retire from active duty, I’m thrilled to announce my next step: a SkillBridge internship with an aerospace and defense company. This four-month experience will allow me to transition smoothly into the private sector, giving the company a chance to see if I’m a good fit. Why I believe I’ll succeed: 1️⃣ Teamwork: Military units thrive on teamwork, and I’m confident these principles will apply in any work environment. 2️⃣ Adaptability: The Air Force taught me to be flexible and thrive in diverse assignments. 3️⃣ Continuous Learning: My extensive education journey taught me how to learn and adapt to new challenges. Yes, it’s a bit nerve-wracking to step away from the security of military service, but I know my experiences have prepared me for this moment. I’m ready to continue being a great teammate, adapting to new environments, and learning every step of the way. Here’s to new beginnings! 🌟 #CareerTransition #MilitaryToCivilian #SkillBridge #Aerospace #Defense #Teamwork #Adaptability #ContinuousLearning

AIRTEC attended The Patuxent Partnership (TPP) Defense Summit this week. It was another great local opportunity to support the important mission of TPP and engage with leaders in government and partners in the defense contracting industry. We often forget in the day-to-day grind and hustle why we do what we do but this was a great reminder of the big picture and the imminent threats that could be around the corner and why we must continue to work together and work through contracting, procurement, logistics, and budget challenges to be ready to protect the freedom we all enjoy. TPP is a non-profit member organization that works with government, industry, and academia to advance education through STEM-based initiatives, advance technology through events, and advance science and technology through the exchange of ideas, information, and data. TPP is a vital component of fostering workforce development. AIRTEC has been a member since 2019 and participates in their Southern Maryland 2030 Workforce Development Program which provides paid internship and apprenticeship opportunities in the area. This collaborative effort is with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aviation Division (NAWCAD), the Southern Maryland Navy Alliance, and many educational partners including local colleges and schools, as well as industry. We look forward to having talented students from this internship program join us in Summer 2024! Located in the AeroPark Innovation District at the St. Mary's Airport, a few miles from the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, AIRTEC has been supporting the critical missions of customers for more than 30 years. We look forward to continuing to support TPP as an important organization that helps promote collaboration, learning, and networking to help grow the economy in the community and worldwide! #ThePatuxentPartnershipDefenseSummit #NavyLeadership #EconomicGrowth #AIRTEC #SouthernMaryland #AviationLeader #AirborneSolutions #CommunityBusinessConnections #GlobalMission
