Can I participate in the SkillBridge program if I do not have a position available for the Service Member at the end of the program?

Yes, you can still participate in the SkillBridge program even if you don't have a position available for the Service Member at the end of the program. However, if a position aligns with the Service Member's skills, experience, and interests, it can be highly advantageous for both your organization and the Service Member to consider offering employment. For the Service Member, securing a position with your department can provide them with a seamless transition into the civilian workforce. It offers them stability, career progression opportunities, and the chance to build upon the skills and experience they
gained during the SkillBridge program.
While offering employment is not mandatory, it is an excellent opportunity for your department to retain a skilled and motivated employees who already has a solid understanding of your department鈥檚
culture, processes, and goals. It also demonstrates your commitment to supporting the successful transition of Service Members into civilian careers and aligns with the Chancellor鈥檚 vision of being a
鈥淢ilitary Ready鈥� institution.

Ultimately, the decision to offer employment should be based on the Service Member's performance during the SkillBridge program and their compatibility with your department's business needs. Open and
transparent communication throughout the program can help clarify expectations and explore potential employment opportunities if they arise.
