DOD is implementing important updates to the DOD SkillBridge partner application process to better manage and support our partnerships. On 31 July 2024, the Department will end rolling enrollment for new Industry Partner applications; to be considered under the open enrollment structure, applications must be received no later than 15 July 2024. A revised DOD SkillBridge Industry Partner Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) goes into effect on 15 July 2024 with new criteria for future partnerships.
Effective 1 October 2024 DOD SkillBridge will transition to structured application enrollment periods.
Existing industry partners in good standing who have an expired MOU listed on the DOD SkillBridge Authorized Organizations are automatically extended through 30 September 2024; MOU renewals will be processed prior to the 30 September 2024 expiration.
Prospective SkillBridge organizations are highly encouraged to attend a bi-weekly DOD SkillBridge New Partner Application Process Information Sessions. If you have questions or need assistance with the DOD SkillBridge program, please contact us.
Many industry partners with opportunities in a variety of fields offer real-world training and work experience in high-demand fields for service members who have 180 days or fewer of service remaining prior to their date of military discharge.
