Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG Miami) Sailors spoke with high school students during a November session of the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America (BBBS) School to Work program, hosted by Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR) in Doral, Fla., November 20, 2024.
“We are committed to providing students with valuable opportunities before graduation,” said MDCR Public Information Officer, Anthony Paz. “One example of this is the pathway offered by our military partners, which can lead students toward successful futures. By connecting students with these types of employers, we help them build meaningful career paths early on.
MDCR invited NTAG Miami to share information about naval career opportunities with 60 high school students, known as 'littles.' A 'little' is a youth, ages 6-18, enrolled in BBBS and paired with a 'big,' or mentor. According to the BBBS website, these mentoring relationships ignite the power and promise of youth by fostering one-on-one connections that support personal growth.
The participating students were from the following Miami-Dade County public high schools:
- Southwest Miami Senior High School
- Miami Central High School
- Miami Jackson Senior High School
- William H. Turner Technical Arts High School
“There are so many paths they can take at this stage in their lives,” said Electrician’s Mate Robert Salgado, attached to NTAG Miami. “We want them to know that we’re here to answer any questions they have about the Navy and to help clear up any doubts or insecurities they may have about pursuing a Naval career. It’s a wonderful feeling to share how the Navy has shaped my life, and I hope it inspires them to explore what it can offer them.”
NTAG Miami has 38 recruiting locations throughout South Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, with the combined mission to recruit the highest caliber Sailors to meet the needs of the fleet.
