PMPA Navy Talent Pipeline Program Informational WebinarTuesday, September 30, 2025 (11am - 12pm US/Eastern) Zoom |
The registration period for this meeting has ended.
Discover how PMPA members are connecting with the next generation of skilled manufacturing talent through a unique partnership with the U.S. Navy.
The Navy Talent Pipeline Program (TPP) is actively building defense industrial capacity by helping manufacturers improve the way they recruit, hire, onboard, and retain the talent they need to run a better business. This session will give you a first-hand look at how the program works, the measurable impact it’s making, and how you can get involved.
• We’ll introduce the goals of the no-cost Navy TPP and how this partnership supports PMPA members with practical resources, workforce strategies, and proven best practices.
• Learn how the Navy is strengthening the industrial base by partnering with manufacturers like you to build a sustainable talent pipeline—and why PMPA shops are essential to this effort.
• Hear directly from PMPA member companies or partners who are currently involved in the program. Learn what motivated them to join, the results they’re seeing, and their advice for new employers considering the program.
• Explore what it looks like to participate in TPP—from initial recruiting outreach to hands-on experience to Signing Day. See how the full process can align with your business's talent needs.
• We’ll close with actionable next steps: who can join, what support PMPA members receive, and how to take the first step toward joining the next cohort.
