Spathe Systems and USSOCOM’s Warrior Care Coalition

Spathe Systems has the unique opportunity to leverage a strategic relationship with USSOCOM’s WarriorCare Program. This partnership allows Spathe to help assist military veterans with their transition into the commercial workforce. Throughout the course of their internship, WarriorCare interns work hands on with Spathe employees on real tasks for the mutual goals of professional development.

WarriorCare interns are exposed to a variety of departments at Spathe custom to the intern’s goals and interests. This can include working with Program Managers, App Developers, HR staff, etc. Our WarriorCare interns are given complete flexibility to explore multiple opportunities that will broaden their expertise and ultimately increase their competitive edge in the job market. Typically, our interns are brought in for several months where we educate, train, and prepare them for their careers. We’ve had several talented WarriorCare interns join our team at Spathe who have gone on to achieve great things – both with our company and others. These interns bring a perspective unique to the warfighter that allows us to guide and direct them to success, while maintaining our diverse and talented workforce.

Spathe’s Incubator Program

Spathe’s commitment to diversifying the workforce continues with our Incubator program. This mentorship program provides young adults with academic backgrounds the opportunity to transfer their skills into applicable, hands on work. The Incubator was formed as a way to address the growing need for a specific skillset that satisfies DOD requirements. Incubator interns walk away with unique experience that competitively position them for job opportunities within DOD, including USSOCOM, TSOCs, and Components.

Spathe sources local, junior-level talent with academic backgrounds in development, systems administration, analytics, and cybersecurity. Over the course of their internship, candidates assist Spathe with real projects that satisfy company goals while broadening their skillsets. In addition, Spathe assists these interns with obtaining a security clearance so that they are able to work for DOD and USSOCOM. Over the course of six months, Incubator interns are exposed to new and diverse methods of support and are given the ability to learn more about the Defense sector. Our Incubator interns have gone on to strengthen our local Tampa market while providing unique and current knowledge to the team at Spathe.

In 2020, Spathe’s Mobile Training Team (MTT) built a fully functional demo application to provide students hands-on DevSecOps training.  Students condense the critical elements of modern, containerized cloud-based architecture into a balanced set of frequently used and functional components that establish an integrated, reusable framework baseline to launch application development efforts featuring Agile methodologies, RESTful architecture, and CI/CD pipelines.
