Challenge & Solution
What Powertechs Delivers
The Challenge:
- Skilled trades shortage in maintenance, electrical, and automation extends time-to-fill and raises overtime.
- Aging workforce & retirements jeopardize coverage on critical assets and shifts.
- Costly downtime from unplanned stops and long MTTR; contractors fill gaps at premium rates.
- Fragmented pathways from military skills to civilian credentials stall otherwise job-ready talent.
What PowerTechs Delivers:
1. Military-to-Manufacturing Skills Translation
1. Military-to-Manufacturing Skills Translation
- Map MOS/AFSC/ratings to civilian competencies (mechanical, electrical, controls, safety).
- Practical tasks + scenario judgement align candidates to your roles and lines.
3. Cohort Hiring & 90-Day Ramp
- Shift-balanced cohorts, mentor pairing, safety coaching, and week-by-week ramp plans.
- Early-tenure pulse checks, skills gap closure, and incident trend monitoring

Illustrative Financials (per 40-Hire Pilot)
Baseline 12-month turnover 28% → with PowerTechs 15% (Δ = 13 pts).
Early bad-hire rate (0–120 days) baseline 12% → with PowerTechs 6% (Δ = 6 pts).
Cost per separation (turnover) = $50,000 each.
Cost per bad hire = $65,000 each.
Avoided turnover: 13% × 40 = 5.2 → $260,000 savings.
Fewer bad hires: 6% × 40 = 2.4 → $156,000 savings.
Total gross benefit: $1,836,000 + $416,000 = $2,252,000.

Risks & Mitigations
- Certification/SOP variance: Align curriculum to site and state requirements pre-launch; verify with EHS.
- Shift/geography fit: Source within commuting radius; relocation/shift differentials planned up front.
- Union environments: Engage stewards early; formalize mentorship and progression ladders.
- Culture & retention: Military-aware supervisor training; buddy system; clear skill ladders.
Why do Veterans Succeed?
- Checklist discipline, safety mindset, and high-reliability teamwork.
- Hands-on experience with complex electromechanical systems under time pressure.
- Mission focus and adaptability that shortens ramp-to-productivity.
What's next? 2 Weeks to Kickoff
- Pick 3–4 target roles per site.
- Share SOP outlines, top failure modes, and compliance must-haves.
- Approve pilot KPIs and cohort start dates.
- Launch sourcing + assessment sprint.
