A Message from the Program Leader
Talent Pipeline Program Partners,
1. 2023-2024 Scorecard: It’s not how many you hire; it is how many you keep!
June 30, 2024, will end Cohort #2’s data tracking of the 1st Year Anniversaries for those new teammates hired in 2022-2023. As of March 31, 2024, here is the retention data for the 115 Hiring Employers in the 2022-2024 cohort across the Philly, Pittsburgh, and Hampton Roads Flags. In the second spreadsheet is the status of Cohort #3 as they are still in the hiring and on-boarding phases. Data is still coming in on the number of Employers who have either 100% retention or only lost 1 new hire. The 2024 Annual Report due in August 2024 will detail each employer's performance.

2. 2023-2024 US Navy Talent Pipeline Program Yearbook
We are now into Signing Day season. In previous years, every Employer attending went to the podium reporting the results of their efforts over the last year and their pledge to partner for the coming year. As we continue to grow, logistically, it was impossible for everyone to go to the podium, so this year each Network selected an Employer to represent their Network. We did want to give each Partnering Employer a chance to have their say, thus was born the US Navy Talent Pipeline Program Yearbook 2024. In this link, every employer was offered the opportunity to submit a testimonial, and 164 of you did. It is a powerful statement of the “connective tissue” created by the TPP secret sauce.

3. Southern California Flag Sponsor RADM Todd Weeks ordered “Plant the Southern California Flag”
The Demand Signal Round Table was held on April 26, 2024, at the Renaissance Hotel, Newport Beach, CA. 48 Employers pledged to partner with a target of 60 by the October 10, 2024, kickoff. The meeting demonstrated a strong Demand Signal worthy of the US Navy’s investment.
4. “National Signing Day” & the 2024-2025 Kickoff on May 30, 2024
Monthly All-Flag virtual meeting is May 28, 2024, from 1200-1300 Eastern. Guest Presenter is Cleveland-Cliffs.
On a Mission! 1 Relationship, 1 Employer, 1 Job, 1 Productive and Engaged Teammate at a time.

Insights: Best Practice Model Monthly Meeting | | |
|
At the April All-Flag virtual meeting, Advex Corporation shared insights into their experience with the Talent Pipeline Program. During a comprehensive interview, Advex representatives, including their President, Operations Manager, and HR team, spoke about their transformative shift towards hiring for “fit.” In the discussion, Advex emphasized that it’s not solely about assessing if the candidate fits Advex, but also if Advex fits the candidate. The implementation of World-Class First Day emerged as a prime opportunity to delve into the underlying “why” behind each new employee’s journey.

Howe Machine and Tool Sees Benefit of Hiring for Fit
Howe Machine and Tool Corporation recently hired an individual that was down on their luck living in a homeless shelter. Spotted playing the saxophone in front of a 7-11, he impressed both the company and the store owner, who vouched for his character. He started out counting inventory and rapidly progressed to be an Assembler. This new hire has already outperformed the company’s previous Assembler and is making excellent progress to be able to perform more complex tasks in their shop. Since joining the team, he has not only excelled at work but has also obtained a phone, driver’s license, and is working towards securing his own apartment. According to the company, this hire was the direct outcome of hiring for “fit” as opposed to hiring for skill.

ATDM Graduate Excels at Craft Machine Works
This cohort year, Craft Machine Works, Inc hired Milad Seraj as a CNC Machinist. Seraj previously served as an interpreter for the U.S. Forces in Afghanistan before resettling in the United States in 2022. In June 2023, he enrolled in the Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) program in CNC Machining, driven by his desire to continue supporting the military through his work. At Craft, Seraj has found not only a job but a supportive work family, and he appreciates the opportunities for professional development. Leadership at Craft noted that Seraj’s “best athlete” attributes, including his enthusiasm, eagerness to learn, and willingness to help others, align with the company’s trajectory and values.
