FASTPORT will develop a digital tool for U.S. Air Force Recruiting Service (AFRS) to help solve a knowledge gap to help individuals to understand their best path through scenario analysis of the true economic value and career impact of enlistment and reenlistment in the Air Force. For those who qualify for military service, the U.S. Air Force is the best technical and leadership training institution in the world, but many potential recruits do not understand their occupational outlook and the value the military brings. FASTPORT's Analysis of Individual Mobility (AIM) tool allows recruiters to sit down with candidates, and their parents, to demonstrate the economic value of enlistment and a full-term career, accounting for their levels of education, training and leadership experience. This is done through a consultative approach to career learning. AIM shows that most young men and women will gain a superior economic return on careers (and pathways to careers) by joining the U.S. Air Force. The AIM recruiting/sales aid will demonstrate fact-based scenarios during a recruiting or advising session with the goal to help candidates understand the full picture of their Air Force experience and benefits and to help candidates prepare for their career and financial future.

FASTPORT’s Analysis of Individual Mobility (AIM) tool is a recruiting/sales aid built on an existing commercialized database product that enables recruiters to sit down with candidates, and their key influencers, and help them understand the full picture of their USAF experience and benefits in an efficient, impactful, and personalized way. The AIM tool does this by demonstrating the value of enlistment and a full-term career, accounting for their levels of education, training and leadership experience. FASTPORT adapted its database product for Government Defense use through collaboration with the Air Force Recruiting Service (AFRS), Recruiters, and School House trainers. The AIM tool aggregates government, private, and proprietary sources to show the variety of benefits provided to Airmen throughout their respective careers while streamlining and strengthening sessions for recruiters through a digitized and customizable version of the comprehensive USAF benefits package as a Total Force recruiting enabler
