From the report, "The Department of Defense (DOD) offers the SkillBridge program to provide industry training to service members who are transitioning out of their military career to civilian life. The SkillBridge program allows service members of any rank, enlisted or officer, to participate in civilian job and employment training starting up to 180 days before they separate from military service and transition to the civilian workforce. Such training can include job training, employment skills training, apprenticeships, and internships. 

Around 200,000 service members transition from military service to civilian life each year. In fiscal year 2022, the SkillBridge program reported that over 22,500 service members either enrolled in or completed a SkillBridge program. As of June 2024, the SkillBridge program offered 7,959 opportunities through 4,867 industry partners."
