FleetGap Power Hour: Where “Networking” Becomes Real Work
February 2026 | This article was originally published on SHzoom
If you have ever left a networking event with a stack of business cards and nothing actually changed, that is a failure of design. Too many industry gatherings consume time without producing outcomes. The FleetGap Power Hour at NAFA I&E 2026 is an intentionally designed, collaborative working session that aims to convert conversation into practical results for fleet hiring and talent development.
About FleetGap
FleetGap is a workforce development initiative focused on creating a clear, structured pathway for transitioning military fleet professionals into civilian fleet careers. The program centers on role validation, employer-aligned curriculum, and collaborative implementation so employers can evaluate and onboard operationally experienced candidates in a repeatable way.
