After working closely with the USCG, we have decided to kick off the second class of the Coast Guard Industry Academy on a virtual basis. The kickoff session of this program will start on October 29th and meet weekly for 5 weeks. We’re really excited for this ongoing partnership with the Coast Guard. It’s a wonderful opportunity for you to be immersed in the programs and build relationships across the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard Industry Academy is a comprehensive program designed to strengthen industry knowledge of and collaboration with the Coast Guard mission. The program consists of four component sessions over a one-year period, which are: the opening session at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and three other sessions at selected Coast Guard facilities along the east and west coasts, and Alaska. USCG HQ component will be virtual, short weekly sessions and each subsequent component session will be on location or virtual as indicated by health and safety guidelines.

U.S. Coast Guard officers and senior leadership at the first meeting will participate in several discussions, focusing on major strategic initiatives including: Securing Maritime Borders, Facilitating Commerce, Maritime Security and Counterterrorism, Inland Waterways, Sovereignty and Presence in Polar Regions, and Acquisitions.

The program’s objective is to select senior industry executives who maintain a broad organizational authority and responsibility that can share comprehensive industry knowledge and are able to disseminate Coast Guard information back across their organization. The one-year program is organized such that Coast Guard knowledge and understanding is enhanced with each successive quarterly session. To register click here.
