Check out this upcoming info/share session for all Interested Employers & SkillBridge Partners!
From the official DoD SkillBridge website:
"The DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for service members to gain valuable civilian work experience...during the last 180 days of service....
For service members SkillBridge provides an invaluable chance to work and learn in civilian career areas...
For industry partners SkillBridge is an opportunity to access and leverage the world’s most highly trained and motivated workforce..."
DoD SkillBridge is a revolutionary program with unmatched potential and there has been an explosive growth in workforce-driven programs since 2019.
But we know that employers have so many questions. Our goal is to enable employers. Why? Because we believe that enabling employers is key to opening new opportunities for transitioning service members.
Note: SkillBridge is a Department of Defense program. The Department of Defense and Service Departments do not endorse any company, sponsor, or their products or services.
Employers, How Can We Best Support Your SkillBridge Efforts?
SkillBridge: Activated by Industry
We've been tracking the number of new programs as listed on the DoD SkillBridge website and the interest from employers is dramatic.
Industry thought-leaders are critical to go-forward advancement of the program.

How Employers Can Participate in SkillBridge

There are two main ways for employers to participate, each requiring various resourcing. Each employer should evaluate their unique business situation to determine how best to navigate.
Any industry partner interested establishing a SkillBridge program should apply directly via the Industry Partners/Employers section of the official DoD SkillBridge website.
