I am thinking about trying to set up a DOD skillbridge internship program with my civilian employer. I was planning on focusing on NDT people to start with because that is the area that I have the most influence. Has anyone here ever done that? Lt Col Charlie Brown Maj Marty Hogan

There is a lot information on the web reference this subject. If your employer is keen on the idea than go for it.

Plus if I was you I would start applying for jobs on USA.gov. You are probably underpaid.

I know two retirees that found full-time employment with the company they interned with after completing the program and one of our Contractor companies currently has a retiring LTC working with them. Here is a link to the page where your company can contact the program to be included.

Hello everyone! PAE(http://www.pae.com) is an approved SkillBridge provider. We have successfully used this program in the past to the mutual benefit of PAE and a transitioning USAF Service Member who was eventually hired as a Deputy Operations Manager for one of our Base Operations Support contracts.
