Benefit from the unique experience, skills, and unmatched work ethics military members bring to the workforce.
Join us for a one-hour Zoom session with Brigadier General Maureen Weigl, who will share the benefits of becoming an Industry Partner/Employer of the SkillBridge Program.
About the DOD SkillBridge Program
Each year approximately 200,000 members of the U.S. Armed Forces, stationed in over 140 military installations in the U.S. and overseas, will leave active duty and re-enter the civilian work force or pursue higher education.
Through the SkillBridge program industry partners benefit from gaining early access to the extensive experience, skills, and unmatched work ethos Service members bring to the workforce. Employers craft SkillBridge programs to meet their specific workforce needs, matching those needs to the skills and abilities of highly motivated Service members,
all at no cost.
How is this possible?
The U.S. Department of Defense pays Service member salary and benefits while the Service member participates in SkillBridge. This opportunity may last up to the final 180-days of service. Military installation Commanders can make on-base facilities available to industry partners for use in their SkillBridge programs, or members may be authorized to train at the industry partner's location off installation at minimal to no cost.
