Exploring the Benefits of the DOD SkillBridge Program

 

The Department of Defense SkillBridge program is an exceptional opportunity for service members to develop valuable civilian work experience via industry-specific training, apprenticeships, or internships. This program connects transitioning service members with industry partners for genuine job experiences during the last 180 days of service.

 

This program is a win-win for both service members and industry partners. Service members gain the opportunity to work in civilian career fields, while industry partners have access to the world's most highly trained and motivated workforce at no cost. During the program, service members will continue to receive their military compensation and benefits, while industry partners provide the civilian training and work experience.
