 It's no secret. An honorable transition from sailor to civilian life can be a stressful time. For many, finding a job after the Navy ranks high on this list. DOD's Skill Bridge Initiative was launched just for this purpose. This program can help you find training opportunities that match your rate and skills. If you meet certain qualifications, you may be able to participate in civilian job training that can include apprenticeships as well as internships. To take advantage of these training opportunities, you must be within six months of transitioning. Check out DOD Instruction 1322.29 to view the general eligibility requirements for Skill Bridge.
