DoD SkillBridge Program
UIW is proud to be an active DoD SkillBridge partner, and we have the privilege of hosting many of these Servicemembers within our schools and departments. In this mutually beneficial arrangement, Servicemembers provide invaluable assistance to UIW, and in return, we offer them a meaningful civilian work experience.

Each year approximately 200,000 members of the U.S. Armed Forces, stationed in over 140 military installations in the U.S. and overseas, will leave active duty and re-enter the civilian workforce or pursue higher education.
Through the SkillBridge program industry partners benefit from gaining early access to the extensive experience, skills and unmatched work ethos service members bring to the workforce. Employers craft SkillBridge programs to meet their specific workforce needs, matching those needs to the skills and abilities of highly motivated Service members, all at no cost.
The Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge Program offers a unique opportunity for active-duty members to acquire valuable civilian work experience during the final 180 days of their service commitment.
