 The DoD Skillbridge helps make the future less uncertain for military members separating from active duty. The program is an opportunity for service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, on-the-job training or internships during the last 180 days of service. Enlisted and officer ranks may apply, as long as they have 180 days of service or fewer remaining prior to date of separation with an honorable discharge, including general discharge under honorable conditions.
