What is the Talent Pipeline Program?
The TPP is a comprehensive workforce development program created by the U.S. Navy. It was designed to ensure that the Navy and the Defense Industrial Base (DIB)—the network of people, organizations, and resources that provides the Department of Defense with needed products and services—have the skilled workforce needed to meet operational demands. Non-ferrous foundries are an important part of the Defense Industrial Base. The TPP focuses on recruiting, training, and retaining individuals with critical trade skills necessary for the production navy assets. When partnering with industries like ours, the TPP not only strengthens the Navy’s capabilities, but it also provides significant benefits to participating employers.
