The Department recognizes the courage and sacrifice of American veterans, particularly those who are injured in the line of duty. To honor their service, the Department participates in programs to help injured soldiers and disabled veterans gain skills and transition to civilian work.
Operation Warfighter helps service members who are recovering from injury to learn valuable skills and build their resumes.
Looking for your next career step after your military service? Are you within 180 days of transition? Discover opportunities to participate in training and development with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
SkillBridge is a Department of Defense program that allows transitioning service members to gain valuable civilian job training from DHS through internships, beginning up to six months before they leave the military - all while keeping their military pay and benefits.
