Aptive is pleased to announce the addition of Ben Barker as Chief Strategy Officer. Mr. Barker guides Aptive’s corporate and technical strategy while also providing oversight, guidance and strategic direction for Aptive’s growth operations.

Aptive is now accepting applicants for its Veterans Training Program (VTP) fall session. This self-paced, online program is open to Veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserve and active-duty service members within six months of separation or retirement from the military.

Aptive hosted two cohorts earlier this year. Former candidates, Rachel Figueroa and Frank Wray, shared their experience in the program and its impact on their professional careers.

Aptive’s Health Services Group hosts interns and residents as part of its Federal Consulting Internship Program. Each member of the program collaborates with project teams to support federal agencies by performing research analysis, developing presentations, responding to client requests and assisting with other management related tasks.

For the third year in a row, Aptive appears on Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 5000 list, a prestigious list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, ranking No. 565. The list highlights successful independent businesses, gives an understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape, celebrates an innovative network of leaders and showcases the spectrum of organizational success.

Aptive received a five-year IDIQ contract and initial task order with the Library of Congress to help create, execute, implement and measure media and outreach campaigns for the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS).
