About The Position

AlphaGov delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research. We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks. AlphaGov is engaging a Port & Maritime Workforce Development Consultant for current workforce work with port authorities, cities, and regional workforce boards. You will help agencies build training and hiring pipelines for port operations, maritime trades, and logistics occupations, tied to measurable placement and retention outcomes. We confirm scope, schedule, and fee with you before any engagement begins.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ports, maritime operations, logistics, transportation, or skilled-trades workforce systems
• Familiarity with WIOA, Registered Apprenticeship, sector-partnership, or economic-development programs
• Experience serving port authorities, large urban agencies, or multi-partner workforce grants

Responsibilities

• Assess port, maritime, logistics, and adjacent-industry workforce demand, occupational pathways, and skills gaps
• Design or strengthen recruitment, pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, training, and placement pipelines
• Convene employers, labor partners, training providers, community organizations, and municipal workforce programs
• Build program models, partnership agreements, implementation plans, budgets, and performance measures
