Aptima

As 2024 wraps up and everyone is navigating the inevitable end of year rush, it is important to reflect on the second half of 2024 and all the ways in which Aptima’s CORE efforts have impacted the company, our employees, and the communities we serve. We set out with 33 milestones for 2024—a lofty but exciting goal! We’re proud to share that we are on track to achieve 32 of our milestones. Highlights include hosting monthly affinity group meetings, creating CORE materials to include in interviewing processes, and offering CORE and affinity group information to all candidates. We made meaningful strides in outreach by inventorying existing programs, restarting an external community initiative, and engaging with diverse professional groups to broaden our connections and impact. None of this would have been possible without the collaboration and dedication of Aptimists across the company. We look forward to more great CORE efforts to come in 2025! #Aptima #HumanCenteredEngineering #CORE #DEI #AffinityGroup #Hiring

Aptima, Inc., announced today the award of a $3.2 million contract from the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) to mature NAUTICAL, an AI solution that revolutionizes instructional systems design (ISD) tasks and workflows to accelerate training analysis. NAUTICAL, the Novel AI Utility for Training, Instruction and Comprehensive Analytic Learning, is a web-based tool that leverages large language models and generative AI to streamline and automate much of the labor-intensive, time-consuming processes required of Instructional System Designers and Developers to perform the critical training analysis to ensure Sailors receive the right training at the right time in the right place. Aptima was awarded the contract after earning the top score in a “Ready Relevant Learning Challenge,” a call to industry from NAWCTSD and Central Florida Tech Grove for AI solutions that could produce quality task analysis, learning analysis, and media selection in reduced time.
