The first two virtual Lunch and learn sessions focused on NSWCPDs Technical Competency Program, created to document and manage how NSWCPD employees acquire and maintain qualifications in the technical competencies required to support NSWCPD's Technical Capabilities (TCs) and Knowledge Areas (KAs), as well as to execute its mission.
The program ensures a two-way conversation between department/division/branch heads and their employees regarding each individual’s own developmental goals. From there, staff members can continue to complete their training through the U.S. Navy’s online Total Workforce Management System (is computer science engineering), track/verify completion of requirements, and reach certified proficiency levels via a proprietary Workforce E-Tool. The program also helps employees create career development plans and timelines. In addition, NSWCPD will be enabled to make more informed hiring decisions based on areas of need, increase knowledge stewardship, and prevent loss of knowledge.
NSWCPD CHENG Lunch and Learn sessions began in the fall of 2018 with in-office meetings, but COVID-19 has since pushed the program to the virtual realm. The CHENG office has utilized this switch efficiently, creating an online reference center.
“Now that we are using hosting our meetings online and recording the sessions, there is the opportunity to create an information library our people can utilize whenever they like,” Freedner explained. “We are never out of topics.”
