This does not impact current partner organizations and military members entering their transition window from participating in the SkillBridge program. Employer applications received prior to June 14, 2023 will continue being processed. All current partners in good standing with an active or extended MOU listed on the DOD SkillBridge Authorized Organizations page can still bring transitioning Service members into their SkillBridge programs.
Current SkillBridge partner organizations in good standing with MOU expiration dates this calendar year, are automatically extended through 1 Jun 2024.
DOD will resume New Partner Application Process Information Sessions in late July 2023. If you have questions or need assistance with the SkillBridge program, please contact us. Interested, prospective partner organizations can also review the "Get Started" information on the Industry Partner/Employers page to review information in the application questionnaire and the guidelines for submitting effective Training Plans. You can also view a previous information session at the following link: View.
