SkillBridge Military ASCEND Internship Program

A STRATEGIC FUTURE

The DOD SkillBridge program is a unique initiative designed to help Service members transition smoothly into civilian careers by providing them with hands-on experience through industry-specific training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of their military service. This program serves as a vital bridge, connecting Service members with industry partners and enabling them to acquire practical skills in real-world job environments.

At The ASCEND Collective, we enhance the SkillBridge experience by focusing on a comprehensive foundation for successful transition. Our approach includes:

Tailored Training Programs: We collaborate with industry experts to offer customized training that aligns with current job market demands, ensuring Service members gain relevant skills.

Mentorship and Networking: We connect Service members with mentors in their desired fields, fostering valuable professional relationships and networking opportunities that can lead to job placements.

Career Coaching: Our team provides one-on-one coaching sessions to help Service members refine their skills story, prepare for interviews, and develop effective job search strategies tailored to their unique strengths.

Workshops and Resources: We offer workshops on essential soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and leadership, which are crucial for success in civilian workplaces.

Post-Program Support: Our commitment doesn’t end with the internship. We provide ongoing support to help Service members navigate the transition into full-time civilian employment, ensuring they have the resources they need for long-term success.

By partnering with The ASCEND Collective, Service members can maximize their SkillBridge experience, gain invaluable insights into civilian work culture, and significantly improve their chances of securing meaningful employment after their military service. We are dedicated to empowering Service members to ascend to new heights in their careers, setting them up for a successful transition into the workforce.
