Military DoD SkillBridge Internship - Processor

Job Description Summary

The Military DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for service members to gain
valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects service members with
industry partners in real-world job experiences under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29. Separating service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after unit commander (first O- 4/Field Grade commander in chain of command) provides written authorization and approval. GE Aerospace as a SkillBridge partner offers real-world training and work
