What Is SkillBridge?

SkillBridge is a training and development program for transitioning military members to take part in training and development opportunities with several different industries and top employers. The program was developed to be an avenue to civilian employment for transitioning Active Duty members.  Involvement in the SkillBridge program requires approval from unit commanders. Military members should not explore SkillBridge options until approval is authorized.

Who Is Eligible for Skillbridge?

Active Duty military members within 180 days from separation from active duty are who the program was designed for and are eligible for financial support from the DoD during the program. Active Duty military members will still be covered by their military benefits and receive their military compensation.

However, the program has expanded to include Veterans, National Guard, Reserve members, and military spouses. Although they are not supported financially by the DoD companies and employers still may offer training programs, development opportunities, and employment pathways for Veterans, National Guard, Reserve members, and military spouses. To find these opportunities search the SkillBridge Location page by your military status.
