SSVP (SkillBridge Veterans Program)
The Department of Defense SkillBridge Program
provides transitioning Service members with the
opportunity to develop additional skills and
experience to facilitate their employment in the
civilian sector upon transition from military service
within their last 180 days of service.
Since its inception in 2011, the DoD SkillBridge
Program has facilitated the transition of over 50,000
Service members. The Program’s success is attributed
to its strong and mutually supportive partnership with
industry leaders across the civilian employment
spectrum and a mutual obligation to take care of
transitioning Service members. Over the past three
years, the number of SkillBridge Partnerships has
tripled, with 1,700 different private sector companies
now offering Programs to increase occupational skills
and capabilities.
While attending programs such as SSVP, you will
continue to receive compensation and benefits from
the military. Our SSVP program will give a Service
member the opportunity to enter our
Apprenticeship, upon service completion, ahead of
the game. Veterans with an honorable discharge
from the military already receive 500 hours of
previous credit and are started as a 2nd step
Apprentice. So, that means a SSVP participant will
receive the same credit for Veterans, plus, you will
begin SELCAT with these benefits: Completion of
Fundamental Training School, up to an additional
500 hours of credit for FTS, all certifications and
already have your 1st year curriculum completed! So
after you exit the military, you are immediately put
on the list for a job to begin our Apprenticeship!
