WHITE PAPER: Forging the Future Fleet: The SAIL Framework for U.S. Shipbuilding Workforce and Infrastructure Revitalization
​​
This white paper examines the critical workforce and infrastructure challenges facing the United States shipbuilding industry and the growing risks these challenges pose to national security, economic resilience, and maritime readiness.
It explores a comprehensive set of intervention strategies to address skilled labor shortages, instructional capacity gaps, outdated shipyard systems, and declining public awareness. Central to this analysis is the SAIL Framework—a four-pillar approach focused on strengthening the workforce, augmenting shipyard capacity through allied expertise, integrating secure AI-driven digital modernization, and leading national engagement. Together, these interventions provide a practical, scalable pathway to revitalize U.S. shipbuilding capacity and restore America’s maritime leadership
WHITE PAPER: Addressing the Shortage of Healthcare Professionals in the United States
​
This white paper examines the severe shortage of healthcare workers in the United States and explores viable intervention programs to address this workforce crisis. One of the key intervention programs explored is utilizing the H-1B visa program to recruit qualified foreign healthcare professionals, which is a streamlined, reliable pathway to fill critical staffing gaps, thereby enhancing healthcare delivery and helping to meet the increasing demands of the U.S. healthcare system.
