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 July 21, 2026, CareerPCS's published base guides cover 2,194 distinct SkillBridge programs from 1,343 organizations within 50 miles of 43 installations across 21 states. The directory also includes 2,075 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 July 20, 2026.
