How It Works

How SkillBridge Works

1

DOD pays their salary

Service members in their final 180 days train at your company while keeping military pay and benefits.

2

You train your next hire

A structured program functions as a six-month working interview with a motivated professional.

3

Hire with zero guesswork

Convert proven talent to full-time, having seen six months of real work.
