U.S. Navy recognized as one of the world's best training organizations by Training Magazine

By Joy Samsel, Naval Education and Training Command Public Affairs

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- The Navy was recognized for their excellence in employer-sponsored workforce training and development as Training Magazine ranked the Navy 17th on its list of Training Top 125 for 2010. The announcement was made at a gala Feb. 1 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Previous corporations selected include Microsoft, McDonald's, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, and Best Buy.

"This award honors the incredible work of the commands throughout the Navy's Manpower, Personnel, Training and Education domain," said Rear Adm. Joseph Kilkenny, commander, Naval Education and Training Command (NETC). Kilkenny accepted the award on behalf of the Navy.

"The mission of our organization is to maintain, train, and equip mission-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining the freedom of the seas," Kilkenny explained. "More than 70 percent of the planet is covered by water, 80 percent of the world's inhabitants live near the oceans, and 90 percent of global commerce is transported by sea. Training is an asymmetric advantage that enables us to maintain a strong and capable maritime force to ensure security, stability and trust around the world. To be successful, we must have a highly trained maritime force, and this award is a validation of the hard work we have done in developing that force."

For the competition, businesses and corporations submitted packages for review detailing their workforce training and development. Among other criteria, judges evaluated demonstrable results, innovation, success factors, training strategically linked to organization goals, and leadership commitment to development and training.

The Navy submission for the Training Top 125 Award provided background on aspects of recruiting, as well as, training and mentoring initiatives spanning a Sailor's career. The programs recognized included initial orientation through the Delayed Entry Program, initial skills training, manpower and career management through detailing, advanced training in C schools, and certifications to name just a few.

Specific initiatives included the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online from the Center for Information Dominance; the Learning and Development Roadmaps coordinated by NETC's Development Planning Analysis Department and delivered by the Navy's Learning Centers; and the Fundamental Applied Skills Training and Personal Applied Skills Screening from Naval Service Training Command (NSTC).

Also recognized through an award for Best Practices and Outstanding Initiatives was the NSTC's and Office of Naval Research's game-based Casualty Response Training System. This pilot program is used at Recruit Training Command to improve Sailors' performance during shipboard flooding exercises.

"For the Navy to be recognized 17th in our first go around is an absolutely tremendous honor and recognition for all the great men and women serving the Navy who make the training happen, day in and day out. From seaman recruit to admiral, we have programs to support the training and career goals of our Sailors, as well as the requirements of the Navy for highly qualified warfighters to support and defend the nation," said Kilkenny.
