Speakers included Kimberly King, Career Service Manager for Analysis, DIA, The Hon. John Sherman, Dean, The Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M University, and moderator Lindy Kyzer, Director of Content and PR, ClearnaceJobs.

Ms. King stated that there is merit in safeguarding the nation by being a part of something bigger than yourself. Joining the workforce there is an opportunity for “combination of mission and chance to drive your own career,” said Ms. King. Dean Sherman reflected on his career pivots and being at the forefront of technological advancement over the years. He noted that “being a trailblazer” in a discipline is distinctive from other career paths.The conversation shifted to the private sector's competitive strategy to retain and attract new talent. Ms. King highlighted DIA is building their talent pipeline through IC Centers for Academic Excellence. This initiative leverages DIA's connection with students across the country to onboard internships. The pay gap between the private sector and government presents a complex challenge for recruiting stem talent. Ms. King revealed the agency's new pay model is a proactive recruiting strategy that is attracting stem students to the DIA. Mr. Sherman responded, that students at the Bush School of Government and Public Service Texas A&M are attracted to the national security mission. To transform mission-focused students to employees; the Bush School of Government and Public Service hosts professors of the practice that extend “tangible real-world example” of careers in the workforce.Upskilling and training are focus areas of the DIA to ensure that employees are digitally- literature on emerging technologies. Kim noted that across-agency there are formal and informal training for employees. Continuing learning opportunities at DIA consist of technical training at universities, senior service schools, and speaker visits. Mr. Sherman urged that academia prepare the future workforce by enforcing effective and concise communication amongst students. “Getting them in a mindset that they're writing decision-makers,” said Mr. Sherman. The ability to write clearly and brief a policy is a critical skill the workforce values.The speakers agreed that to reach the future workforce there is a need for a flexible workspace. Improving retention and attraction strategies relies on the workforce to effectively track talent. Insufficient communication with applicants is resulting in the workforce losing skilled candidates during the process. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are excited to welcome Dave Schantz to the Lessons Learned for Vets podcast. After retiring from the US Navy in 2019, Dave built a SkillBridge opportunity at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). Once he learned how to navigate the SkillBridge approval process for GDIT, he took over the program to attract more transitioning service members to the organization. As the administrator for the DoD SkillBridge Community of Practice LinkedIn group for several years, he shares his knowledge of the program for service members, transition counselors and approved companies. Dave has been consulting with companies since 2021 and is now consulting full-time. As one of the premier experts on SkillBridge, he assists companies through the approval process and advises them on how to successfully build out their program. During Dave's last year in service, he reached out to the hiring manager at GDIT to inquire if they had a SkillBridge program in place. Not only did they not have the program in place, but they also had very little knowledge of the benefits of SkillBridge. Dave sold them on the program, and he was selected to start working for them as a training advisor through their new SkillBridge program. After spending 6 months in the role, Dave was hired. Dave volunteered to be the administrator of the DoD SkillBridge Community of Practice LinkedIn group. From 9/2019 to present, Dave has grown the group from 85 members to 37K. Many service members are following Dave's lead on creating SkillBridge opportunities. There are currently 4,400+ SkillBridge approved organizations.The DoD SkillBridge program allows service members to participate in unpaid internships or apprenticeships with an approved organization during the last 6 months of service time. The organization can specify the duration of work from 1 month to the full 6 months with the expectation that at the end of the agreed upon period, there will be an opportunity for a full-time position. The program is designed as a train to hire program. It is not meant to be a free labor program. If a service member wants to participate in a SkillBridge opportunity with an organization that is not DoD approved, the program allows every approved organization to act as a middleman. This scenario could happen for a variety of reasons such as the organization doesn't have time to get approved or the organization lacks the personnel to follow through on the intensive paperwork process.For service members who are interested in SkillBridge, having a translated resume and LinkedIn profile is very important. Because a company is not supposed to be offering SkillBridge opportunities unless there is a high likelihood of a job offer at the end, the hiring manager will most likely be reviewing a service member's resume and LinkedIn profile and conducting an interview. The DoD is making strides toward streamlining the approval process for organizations. With 200K service members transitioning each year and just 4,400+ approved organizations, there is still a lack of opportunity for some who want to participate in the program.Connect with Dave at https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-schantz-skillbridge-champion/Download the AAFMAA transition timeline at https://aafmaa.com/ll4vSUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this with other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!AAFMA, the American Armed Forces Mutual Aid Association is the longest-standing nonprofit association offering life insurance, wealth management, mortgages, survivor assistance and more.

Planning, Resilience, and Honesty.In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to Garrett Yee, Vice President and General Manager at General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT). Garrett talks about his transition to the private sector after 35 years with the U.S. Army, serving in the Middle East and ultimately as Deputy Director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). He recalls learning perseverance after a difficult early-life experience—getting kicked out of Navy ROTC in his freshman year for poor grades—and then starting over with the Army. He talks about learning how important it is for leaders to keep smiling and about his efforts to stay honest and open. Garrett tells Shana his early vision for his life was that he'd grow up to be a teacher and a park ranger and says he's now back in nature following his passion for photographing birds.QUOTES“When things are important to us, we find the time to do it.

There is good news surrounding the security clearance process - it takes fewer days to get a final clearance determination, interim clearances can be granted in a minimum of weeks, and reciprocity times (how long it takes to transfer a clearance) are dropping. That's opening the door for companies to onboard uncleared talent to help it grow the talent pool. That's one of the key strategies being used at GDIT, and Lisa Reidy, vice president of security at GDIT recently described the success the company is having at moving new talent into the door and through the clearance process.

Professional sports broadcasters frequently use the phrase, “taking it to the next level.” Well, when it comes to improving application development in the federal world, taking it to the next level can involve some new concepts presented in this discussion. This is an interview with three professionals who have worked on many federal projects. They provide the listener with guidelines for making the transition with minimal expense and maintaining federal security standards. The discussion opens with a contrast between the traditional method of developing software and the way it is done today. Chris Moran from GDIT estimates 90% of systems generated today are comprised of third-party applications. In other words, it is assembled rather than coded line for line. This new method allows for flexibility and rapid development. Two other methods for deploying software were introduced in this discussion. When multiple applications are deployed over multiple clouds, a person dedicated to reliability must be included in the team, usually referred to as a “Site Reliability Engineer.”  This person is tasked with maintenance, patching, and increasing automation for those responsibilities.

Today's episode is with Amy Gilliland, The President of GDIT.  Her message is simple …we can do Great things and we are all more resilient than we may even know. She was raised by a single mother who was in civilian service to the US Army along with her Great Grandfather who served in the Navy.  Amy reflects on the impact they both had on her from a young age to be shown an example of working hard, of service to others and the power of gratitude. After graduating from the Naval Academy Amy spent time on the Deck of a Guided Missel Destroyer ship The USS Laboon where she was taught how to preform in the face of uncertainty and how to lead others effectively when emotions are high. She was able to Travel the World to more than 40 countries experiencing diplomacy both by ship and as a Congressional Liaison for the House of Representatives. She's gained The Power Of perspective which is a complexion of all of those experiences that influence how she wants to lead. As a fellow Early Bird, she and I discuss our similar approaches to being deliberate about gaining clarity of purpose with a morning routine that includes exercise and a Gratitude practice.  She includes her kids to share in that experience to set the example of healthy practices to be the best version of our selves.   She shares that we're more than the position we hold and embraces the fact that our home life is a major part of who we are in our professional life.   Connect on LinkedIn, Youtube, Instagram
