Military SkillBridge Program

Job description

Military SkillBridge Program

At GE Aerospace, we are a world-leading provider of jet engines, components, and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft. We are proud to partner with the U.S. military and allies around the globe on research, development, and production of advanced military solutions.

GE Aerospace is a Proud Partner of the DOD SkillBridge Program. The DOD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29.

Separating Service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after unit commander (first O-4/Field Grade commander in chain of command) provides written authorization and approval. GE Aerospace as a SkillBridge partner offers real-world training and work experience in in-demand fields of work while having the opportunity to evaluate the Service member’s suitability for the work. DOD SkillBridge participants are not eligible for compensation from GE Aerospace, as they continue to receive military compensation and benefits as active-duty service members.

At GE Aerospace, we have a relentless dedication to the future of safe and more sustainable flight and believe in our talented people to make it happen. Here, you will have the opportunity to work on really cool things with really smart and collaborative people. Together, we will mobilize a new era of growth in aerospace and defense. Where others stop, we accelerate.

Our talent acquisition teams will still be connecting with candidates during the month of December, but you will need to apply to a specific job requisition after 1/2/2025 when are systems have fully transitioned.
