DoD Skill Bridge Training Opportunity - Plumber & HVAC Technician About the job

This is a DoD Skill Bridge Training opportunity for service personnel to gain valuable civilian work experience. While the Department of Defense does not endorse any specific employer, this program allows Service members, if approved by their command, to explore civilian career training opportunities while still on active duty.

For service members, DOD Skill Bridge provides an invaluable chance to work and learn in civilian career areas. For industry partners, DOD Skill Bridge is an opportunity to access and leverage the world's most highly trained and motivated workforce at no cost. Service members participating in DOD Skill Bridge programs continue receiving their military compensation and benefits, while industry partners provide the civilian training and work experience.

Installation and unit commanders who have members about to transition from active duty can bridge the gap between their service members' end of service and the beginning of their civilian careers with the DOD Skill Bridge participation. Commanders ease this military-to-civilian transition period for their members when they permit Skill Bridge participation with trusted employers.

Service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after their chain of command, field grade commander, provides written authorization and approval. These industry partners offer real-world training and in-demand work experience, providing the opportunity to evaluate the service member's suitability for future employment.
