Each Navy command establishes local SkillBridge participation procedures. Sailors are advised to at minimum follow the steps below:

Prior to pursing program enrollment or command approval, review DOD Instruction 1322.29 and NAVADMIN 222/15 policy documents on the Resources page of this website to ensure you meet minimum eligibility requirements.

Review all of the approved SkillBridge program information listed on the SkillBridge Locations page of this website.

Directly contact the Employer POCs listed on the SkillBridge Locations page of the website to learn more about program specific eligibility requirements, start dates, training duration, enrollment protocol, etc. If there is no Employer POC contact information available on the DOD SkillBridge website, please visit the identified Industry Partner/Employers website to further inquire, or Contact Us for further assistance.

If there is a training program or internship of interest not currently approved and listed on the DOD website, the training provider may route a request for approval by visiting Industry

Partners/Employers - How to Participate.

Once you have determined eligibility, and identified a program of interest, submit a request through your chain of command for "permission to participate" in training. Required documentation and request routing protocol vary by command so consult with your designated command representative for details.

Maintain a copy of approval documentation signed by your unit commander in personal files for reference as necessary, and provide a copy to the Employer POC for review and final acceptance as appropriate. Contact the Transition Office (Fleet and Family Support Center) at your supporting base to gather more details about the SkillBridge programs available in your geographic area, or for additional transition assistance support (Resume, Interview Preparation, Job Search, Application Assistance, etc..).
