MILLINGTON, Tenn. – U.S. Naval Community College's Command Senior Enlisted Leader, Command Master Chief Jordan Rosado, spoke to over 400 Sailors at the Navy Counselor Professional Development Training Symposium (NCPDTS) on July 23, 2024.
The NCPDTS was hosted at the Pat Thompson Theater in Millington, Tennessee, from July 23-25. Workshop and panel topics included career opportunities, retention concerns, and education resources.
During a scheduled briefing slot for USNCC, Rosado discussed the institutional benefits of education, USNCC's goal of delivering flexible education programs, and how USNCC's design directly supports education pathways for a globally deployed enlisted force.
"We are excited to participate in this symposium and share what USNCC has been doing to advance enlisted education in the fleet," said Rosado. "The Sailors at this event can make a difference in the lives and careers of our service members, so it's important that we share our education resources and support."
USNCC now offers 15 accredited degree programs and 18 certificate programs with built-in naval-relevant courses as part of the curriculum.
These degree programs include military studies, organizational leadership, nuclear engineering technology, cybersecurity, aviation maintenance technology, uncrewed systems, maritime logistics, data analytics, health science, and engineering, with more naval-relevant degree programs planned over the next year.
As a key personalized benefit for candidates, Rosado emphasized how the degrees offered in partnership with the institution have a pre-established pathway to four-year degrees.
