What is SkillBridge?
A Launchpad for Life After Military Service
The Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program helps active duty service members successfully transition into the civilian workforce. During their last 180 days of service, SkillBridge connects military members with real-world job training, apprenticeships, and internships—all while still receiving military pay and benefits.
Through SkillBridge, participants gain hands-on experience with trusted industry partners, building valuable skills and professional networks that support a seamless move into civilian life.
Who Is SkillBridge For?
Empowering Service Members Ready for their Next Chapter
SkillBridge is open to active duty service members who are within 180 days of separation or retirement from military service and have received approval from their chain of command. It’s ideal for individuals who want to:
- Explore new career fields

- Secure employment before separation
- Work alongside supportive civilian mentors and teams
Whether you're a leader looking to pivot into management, a technician eager to apply your expertise in a new sector, or a specialist exploring fresh possibilities—SkillBridge offers a bridge to your future.
