The SkillBridge Locator maps Department of War (DoW) SkillBridge internships and employer-managed listings across the United States, so transitioning servicemembers can find programs near their current base, near where they're PCSing, or fully remote.
As of August 25, 2026, CareerPCS's published base guides cover 4,063 distinct SkillBridge programs from 2,364 organizations within 50 miles of 237 installations across 50 states. The directory also includes 2,074 remote and nationwide programs.
CareerPCS combines employer-managed opportunities with listings sourced from the official DoW SkillBridge directory. DoW-sourced listings are limited to postings DoW marked active at our latest check — refreshed nightly, last checked August 25, 2026. The verified badge marks a listing an employer actively manages here; unbadged listings may be employer-posted or sourced from the DoW directory. Start and track applications through CareerPCS. Search by keyword or location, and filter by industry, program length, delivery method, and listing source.
Some listings show a typical pay range. We match the listing to an occupation, then show what workers in that occupation earn in that state — from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data (OEWS, May 2025). It's the going rate for that line of work, not this employer's offer or a prediction of your pay. How salary benchmarks work.

Our professional pilot program gives participants the time and resources to earn their Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, and Certified Flight Instructor Certificate. At the completion of this program, you will be offered a job at Aviation Adventures to start working as a CFI.
Job description:
A licensed commercial pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft for compensation or hire, as well as carry persons or property for compensation or hire. To put another way, holding a commercial pilot license means you are legally allowed to get paid as a pilot. Commercial Pilots can be compensated many ways. Here are a few: Ferry flying: Help relocate aircraft for owners or maintenance shops. Banner towing: Gain hours while building stick-and-rudder skills in challenging conditions. Sightseeing and charity flights: These opportunities help reinforce cockpit professionalism and mission planning. Volunteering for aviation nonprofits: Certain humanitarian or STEM outreach flights allow you to gain experience while giving back. Flight Instruction. One of the most popular next steps after earning a CPL is becoming a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). Many pilots pursue their CFI certificate to build hours, sharpen their skills and gain paid experience — all while helping train the next generation of aviators. CFI roles are especially valuable because they: Provide a steady stream of PIC time, develop your communication and leadership skills, keep you flying regularly in a structured, safety-focused environment. If your long-term goal is the airlines, corporate aviation or charter, working as a CFI is a practical and respected way to reach the required minimums.
