Mariner and Workforce Integrated Action Team
Advancement of the recruitment, retention, and well-being of the existing and future workforce within the MTS is critical to ensure a well-functioning domestic and international freight and logistics supply chain. In March 2022, the CMTS Coordinating Board approved the establishment of the Mariner and Workforce Integrated Action Team (Workforce IAT). 

The Workforce IAT will continue to:
  • maritime workforce quality of life and mariner mental health,
  • encouraging career advancement and professional development in MTS fields, and
  • supporting federal outreach for recruitment and retention, to include engaging stakeholders on career opportunities in the MTS.
This IAT's goal is to bring attention to the vital importance of the U.S. merchant marine for national security, safety, and prosperity, and aims to more easily facilitate the transition of active-duty service members into the U.S. maritime industry. In order to advance recommendations for healthy work climates, the CMTS will promote interagency forums for discussions and initiatives related to the health and well-being of the MTS workforce.

Purpose

To facilitate interagency coordination to enhance the well-being and quality of life of mariners and the U.S. MTS workforce, in such areas as resilience, military to mariner initiatives, mariner mental health, recruitment and retention, and any other areas as evolve from ongoing, new or emerging issues related to the MTS workforce.
