The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Naval Systems Engineering Directorate (SEA 05) is responsible for the full lifecycle engineering of the Navy’s ships, submarines, and warfare systems.
Intelligence analysis and technology-based solutions for national security missions require specialized skill sets that are not typically taught in traditional academic programs. To meet the growing demand for qualified professionals in the intelligence community, VTG recognized the need to cultivate talent early and bridge the gap between education and mission readiness. The challenge was to prepare students to contribute meaningfully to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions immediately upon entering the workforce.
VTG launched a Student-to-Analyst Transition (STAT) initiative to develop mission-ready talent through academic partnerships and targeted skill-building.
VTG’s STAT initiative is expanding the pipeline of qualified professionals ready to support critical national security missions. Young analysts entering the workforce through this program are equipped with the tools and mindset needed to contribute from day one. Customers benefit from a workforce that is both technically prepared and mission-aligned, accelerating the impact of intelligence operations. This approach strengthens VTG’s ability to deliver innovative solutions while investing in the future of the national security community.
