Industry leads and headhunters specifically look for NUPOC members; your career, training, and education as a Naval Nuclear Officer translates easily into the private sector.

If you are also pursuing or looking toward a master’s program, we do also accept applications to support this continued education timeline.

The fleet visit is an all-expenses paid 3-day trip to San Diego, CA, to visit and meet with currently serving Nuclear Officers. These trips are conducted every month and there is no obligation to join the program in order to attend.
