SKILLBRIDGE
Arizona’s statewide SkillBridge partnership, which is free to employers, allows service members who are within six months of separation from the military to complete internships and pre-apprenticeships with approved civilian employers prior to transitioning out of the military. SkillBridge prepares the thousands of Arizona-based service members who separate from the military each year to put their diverse training and skills to use in the private sector while also providing an additional source of highly-qualified talent to Arizona employers.
