Secretary of the Navy Tours with Industry (SNTWI)

Recognizing the importance of industry expertise in innovation and efficiency, the SNTWI program was established to provide naval officers and senior enlisted personnel with the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in leading private sector organizations. Initially launched as a pilot program, SNTWI quickly gained traction and has since become a prestigious and integral part of the Navy's professional development strategy. Over the years, the program has evolved to offer tailored placements across a wide range of industries, allowing participants to bring back valuable insights and best practices to enhance the Navy's operational effectiveness.
 

This is a fellowship program and does not confer a degree. This program is a unique and non-traditional opportunity for exceptional Sailors to work with partnering corporations. SNTWI fellows are immersed in industry to learn and observe corporate processes and best practices. The intent of SNTWI is for the fellow to achieve learning objectives that are important to both the individual officer and to his or her community. Fellows will be matched with a company based on the fellow's background, experience, and learning objectives. The company will then place the fellow in a position that will best meet the fellow's goals and objectives within their organization. Knowledge gained as a SNTWI fellow will assist in bringing innovative ideas and proven practices back to the Navy. In the past, fellows have been assigned to Anduril, Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, Verizon, FedEx, Morgan Stanley, SMIT Salvage, Marque Ventures, and Lockheed Martin.
