For many service members, transitioning from military to civilian life can be an uncertain and challenging journey. Years of discipline, leadership, and specialized training don’t always translate directly to civilian job roles. That’s where SkillBridge comes in—offering a bridge between military service and a fulfilling career in the civilian workforce.
At Phase II, we understand the importance of this transition. Our mission is to empower veterans with the resources, opportunities, and connections they need to succeed. SkillBridge plays a critical role in this process, and we are proud to support service members through this program.
What is SkillBridge?
SkillBridge is a Department of Defense (DoD) program designed to provide transitioning service members with civilian work experience and training before they separate from the military. It partners with approved employers, like Phase II, to offer internships, apprenticeships, and training opportunities across various industries. The best part? Service members continue receiving their military pay and benefits while participating in the program, making it a risk-free way to gain hands-on experience.
Why SkillBridge Matters
The jump from military to civilian careers is not always straightforward. Service members often face challenges such as:
- Translating military skills into civilian job descriptions
- Building professional networks outside of the military
- Understanding workplace culture and expectations in the civilian sector
- Finding career paths that align with their leadership and technical expertise
SkillBridge helps ease this transition by providing real-world experience, career mentorship, and industry connections, giving service members a head start before officially stepping into the civilian workforce.
