Recorded Information Session

Overview

What is SkillBridge & Why?

The DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during their last 180 days (6 months) of service.

As a DoD approved SkillBridge provider, Vets2PM can facilitate your organization hosting a SkillBridge Intern for OJT for up to 180 days (average OJT time is 4+ months).

Vets2PM has taken an existing program and improved it by:

  • Developing DoD SkillBridge ‘Tracks,’ which include Project Management, IT/Cyber, HR, Business Development, and General Management.
  • Facilitating Internships that are outside those Tracks if you have a unique need / interest.
  • We train for industry-recognized certifications per each Track, to include but not limited to: PMP, CAPM, PSM, ACP, CompTIA Security+, aPHR, Business Development Professional (BDP), Certified Manager (CM), Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB), and other IT/Cyber certifications to meet your needs.
  • Ensuring each Intern is pre-qualified for the DoL Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), so your organization can take advantage of this valuable tax credit for hiring veterans.
  • Administering the program for you (you have your own business to attend to), and we are accountable to the DoD for program compliance, metrics, and reporting.
  • Presenting candidates you likely would never see, who come with experience, education, credentials, and security clearances.

    Our Process

    1. Veteran Inspiration

    You have in-demand skills civilian employers need. You just need some inspiration and translation because you might not know how your current skills apply.

    2. Get Certified & Credentialed

    We use our decades of experience in developing, managing, and sourcing world-class training to ensure successful and in-demand certifications employers and civilian organizations need and want. Let us handle the research for you. If we don’t develop it, we find it.

    3. Civilian Professional Development

    It is important to walk, talk, and look professional in ways civilian organizations understand. They don’t get deployments, TDYs, or PCSs but We do! Certifications are good but you need a great resume, social profile, and interview skills to get the job, we can help.
