Peraton Skill Bridge
This application is the official entry point for transitioning military service members who want to be considered for a Skill Bridge internship with Peraton, at any location and across any mission area.
Peraton does not operate a cohort-based Skill Bridge program or place candidates through a general applicant pool. Instead, Skill Bridge internships are managed through a centralized process and are initiated primarily via specific, by-name requests from program teams.
This means:
- A Peraton program, usually at or near your duty location, identifies a specific transitioning service member they want to bring on as an intern.
- These opportunities are created locally and depend entirely on the program's mission needs and bandwidth at that time.
- Because of this, Skill Bridge openings are not posted publicly and cannot be applied to directly like normal jobs.
Skill Bridge interns participate alongside real Peraton programs and must be officially approved by their military branch to participate in the DoD Skill Bridge program.
Peraton provides:
- Hands-on, mission-focused, personalized training plans
- Real-world experience on active programs
- A chance for both you and the team to evaluate potential fit for future employment
Our Skill Bridge program works best for service members who already have skills aligned with Peraton's needs.
Submitting this application:
- Does not guarantee Skill Bridge placement
- Does not create a direct hire opportunity
- Allows us to review your background and identify whether you may be a good match if a program submits a by-name request
This application simply helps us assess eligibility, skill alignment, and potential fit for Skill Bridge consideration.
QualificationsSome internships require a security clearance. If so, you must:
- Already hold the required clearance level, and
- Receive clearance verification and approval through Peraton's Personnel Security before starting the internship
Required:
- Skill Bridge Eligibility:
The DoD Skill Bridge program is available only to active-duty service members and certain members of the National Guard and Reserves who are within 180 days of separation (and no fewer than 30 days before separation). - Residency and Locality Requirement:
You must live in the city and state (or city and country) where the internship will take place. - Peraton does not offer remote Skill Bridge internships.
We strongly encourage service members to complete all required Transition Assistance Program (TAP) courses before beginning Skill Bridge. This ensures you fully understand your post-service options and are prepared for a smooth transition.
