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.

Assistance in Transitioning from Active Duty with DoD SkillBridge

As an installation or unit commander with service members preparing to transition from active duty, it's essential to bridge the gap between their military and civilian careers. By allowing SkillBridge participation with reputable employers, commanders can help ease the military-to-civilian transition period for their members.

Permissive Duty for Service Members with Industry Partners

Service members can receive up to 180 days of permissive duty, with written authorization from their chain of command, to focus exclusively on training with approved industry partners. These industry partners provide practical training and valuable work experience, as well as assess the service member's potential for future employment.
