Are you interested in hosting a DoD Approved SkillBridge Resident/Intern?

(You’re busy running your business…let us administer the program for you.)

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).

Why Vets2PM?

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.
