RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN announces the Fiscal Year (FY) 20-21 Secretary of the

partnering corporations.  SNTWI Fellows are included and immersed in industry 
to learn and observe corporate processes and best practices.

and proven practices back to the Navy.  Past Fellows were assigned to VMware, 
Qualcomm, Apple, Boeing, Tesla, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, GE Digital, 
Amazon, FedEx, Northrup Grumman, Space X, LinkedIn and USAA.

2.  Officer applications must be routed through the applicants detailer, and 
the respective Community Distribution Division will select candidates.  
Enlisted applications should be sent to the SNTWI program office at 
sntwi_support.fct@navy.mil.  Eligibility will be based solely on 
individual community needs and demands.  The SNTWI application (NAVPERS 
1330/4) is a requirement to apply for the program.  For more information 
visit My Navy Portal via https://my.navy.mil/quick-links.html and click on

3.  Eligibility:  Applicants must be high performing and within physical

Projected Rotation Date (PRD) by September 2020 to be eligible for 
participation.  *Off-cycle* reporting to a company will be considered based 
on community needs or operational requirements.
Participation in the program should not negatively impact the career 
progression of the applicant.  Applicants who are within 11 months of a 
career milestone or not positively endorsed by their community will not be 
considered for this program.

4.  Service Obligation:  Tours are normally 10-12 months in length, depending 
on community and corporate requirements.  Selectees incur a service 
obligation for three times the number of months in the SNTWI program (i.e. 
30-36 months).

5.  In addition to the eligibility requirements, additional restrictions 
apply.
    a.  Selected Reservists are not eligible for this program.

of SNTWI no later than 30 April 2020.  Names of selectees submitted after 30 
April 2020 will be considered on a case-by-case basis (i.e. awaiting 
promotion selection results).  Communities are encouraged to submit alternate 
names for unfilled quotas.  Selectees will be matched with a company by July 
2020.  Communities are responsible for notifying selectees of acceptance 
status.

7.  Learning objectives must be approved by the community of the applicant 
and must be aligned with the community mission.  We will pair selectees with 
companies that will best match the needs of the learning objectives.
