BG Workforce Solutions is a Lexington, KY based leader in workforce modernization and digital transformation. We provide the Department of Defense and Allied Partner Nations with innovative enterprise software tools and training solutions needed to build and sustain skilled technical workforces.

Our software solutions include:

  • Gemini™, a digital training tool and point-of-work aid integrating Extended Reality (XR) experiences, digitized forms, 3D models & simulations, and technical documentation for training, job performance, and troubleshooting support
  • SMARTS™, a workforce evaluation system tracking individual skills, capabilities, and credentials within an organization
  • CertiFLEX ™, an online training delivery platform with individual or collective training modules.
  • TAILWIND ™, an integrated, customizable Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent built as a technical subject matter expert (SME) for training and job support.

 

BG Workforce also provides turnkey training labs and classrooms that include all required equipment, materials, curriculum, simulations, and instructors. Our products are designed for rapid scaling across DoD operations, from local bases to global theaters. Currently deployed to support high-velocity training at multiple sites in the Army Organic Industrial Base (AOIB) and advanced manufacturing at the INDOPACOM Advanced Manufacturing Training Suite (AMTS) in Hawai’i, these tools are driving measurable improvements in workforce modernization & readiness initiatives. Early adopters report enhanced training efficiency and workforce preparedness, with detailed case studies available upon request.

Our organization has achieved an Authorization to Operate (ATO) at Impact Level 4 (IL4) in the DoD GovCloud environment for both Gemini™ and SMARTS™.

BG Workforce Enterprise Suite, DoD GovCloud Approved: Gemini™, CertiFLEX ™, SMARTS™, and TAILWIND™

Problem Statement:

• The Defense Industrial Base suffers from a severe shortage of skilled labor across critical trades and disciplines.
• Highly experienced Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) retire or leave, taking their knowledge with them.
• It takes too long to upskill new entrants to the workforce, and legacy training methods are inefficient.
• Workers are challenged to find and access critical information at the point of work – they demand capable knowledge support tools.
• Organizations have difficulty identifying, tracking, and developing skills and capabilities within their workforce.

Technology Solution Statement:

Gemini™, SMARTS™, CertiFLEX™, and TAILWIND™ are designed to bolster the Defense Industrial Base labor force and rapidly reverse knowledge attrition by digitally capturing SME experiences, codifying them against skills and capabilities, and delivering them across a distributed workforce in an innovative XR interface with AI assistance. These tools enable customer organizations to develop and maintain their own content libraries and intellectual property, ensuring real-time access to the latest information for all workers in the organization to ensure compliance in the field.

Benefits Statement:

• Rapid enterprise deployment (standup in weeks)
• Enhanced worker speed to competency (~50% reduction in training time)
• Targeted Skills-first Training & Tracking (develop flexible, agile workforce)
• Automate training program administration (reduce overhead costs)
• Adaptable for any operational environment with cloud and standalone capabilities (technology agnostic)
• Standardize training & maintenance operations across the enterprise (improve quality)
