Welcome to SkillBridge at System Offices

SkillBridge Internship Program

The SkillBridge Program is an internship opportunity available to transitioning service members during approximately the final 12 weeks of military service. Offered through the U.S. Department of War, SkillBridge provides service members the opportunity to gain valuable civilian work experience through industry training, apprenticeships, and internships during their final 180 days of service.

SkillBridge connects transitioning service members with industry partners to participate in real-world job experiences that support career readiness and successful transition into the civilian workforce. Participants continue to receive their military pay and benefits from the Department of War while completing an unpaid internship with The Texas A&M University System Offices.

About the Program

Interns will:

  • Gain exposure to employee training and professional development opportunities
  • Work under the guidance and supervision of System Offices staff
