SkillBridge Professional Training Program at Control Risks
The US Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge Program is a US-based program that helps separating and retiring military members connect with companies that provide professional training opportunities and that offer a high probability of employment as they transition to the civilian workforce. The program has a six-month duration (to occur during the candidate's final 180-days of active duty), after which time the company can offer a full-time permanent position if there is an opportunity available and interest from both sides. There are two ways of hiring participants: Cycle-based: we will open one opportunity in January and one in July in order to maintain structure and ensure that we keep the program active and operating on an ongoing basis. Off-cycle: depending upon our needs and on potential candidates, we will retain the option of bringing in additional participants at any time of the year-in addition to the cycle-based candidates.
