A Full-service SkillBridge Provider

S2IC is the first SkillBridge provider to offer fully facilitated direct enrollment, making each partner its own Authorized SkillBridge Host Organization rather than a passthrough under someone else’s program.

SkillBridge works best when someone who knows it inside and out is running it. S2IC handles your enrollment from start to finish to make your organization an Authorized SkillBridge Host Organization. Once you’re enrolled, we act as an extension of your HR department, managing and maintaining every part of your program so your team can stay focused on what it does best.

S2IC was founded by a military family who used SkillBridge in their own transition, so we know the program from both sides: what servicemembers need to make the leap, and what the DoW requires of host organizations. Today we manage SkillBridge programs for host organizations in industries from cybersecurity to construction, turning a complex government process into a simple, reliable talent pipeline for our partners.

Phase One

Build & Enroll

A simple intake with S2IC gets the ball rolling. We gather everything needed for your SkillBridge enrollment, build the required training plan, and prepare and submit your application to the DoW. The only things we’ll need from your team are a quick online ethics course (about 30 minutes) and a signature on the SkillBridge MOU from a representative of your organization. We’ll walk you through both.

Phase Two

Manage and Maintain

After your organization has been approved by DoW and is active in the SkillBridge database, S2IC actively manages your program – responding to all incoming inquiries from servicemembers and conducting initial screenings and interviews. If a candidate is approved by a partner, then we generate all the documentation the servicemember needs to submit with their application packet, supporting them throughout their application process.

Additionally, S2IC keeps our partner’s CMS active and reflective of their current needs and goals, as well as handling all annual renewal and performance reporting requirements to the DoW.

S2IC is SkillBridge, Simplified.

How Does the Process Work?

Step 1

Once active in the DoW SkillBridge database, servicemembers see the internships offered by Host Organizations, with a point-of-contact email to inquire for more information. For our partners, all these email inquiries come to S2IC, saving your employees time and resources.

Step 2

Servicemembers are then directed through S2IC’s initial intake process – including a full questionnaire and resume review. Once received, S2IC schedules a phone interview. If the candidate is deemed a potential fit, S2IC generates a Candidate Snapshot with all relevant candidate information and why we think they could be a fit for our Partner. If desired, the Partner can themselves schedule a second interview with the candidate.

Step 3

If a candidate is approved by a partner, then S2IC generates all the documentation the servicemember needs to submit with their application packet, supporting them throughout their application process. If the candidate is declined by the partner, S2IC still re-engages with them, and helps the candidate secure a different SkillBridge opportunity.

Benefits

Here are some of the benefits of direct enrollment into the SkillBridge Authorized Host Database:

Visibility in Database

Your organization’s name (not S2IC’s) & specific opportunities appear when servicemembers are searching for SkillBridge internships, increasing incentive to apply.

Increased Access

Being directly enrolled means that neither servicemembers nor partner organizations are constrained to cohort timelines – the only timelines that matter are the servicemember’s and the Host’s.

Content Management System

Direct enrollment gives S2IC access to a full Content Management System for a partner’s SkillBridge program. With a simple email to S2IC, we can add or remove opportunities, locations where the opportunities are offered, or toggle them on or off as needed. Based on each partner’s needs, we also build out the descriptions using key search terms to capture more servicemembers who are searching.

DoW SkillBridge Logo

As a SkillBridge Authorized Host, organizations can display the DoW SkillBridge logo on any of their digital channels as well as physical displays, such as booths at conferences.

Military Support

Show both the military members and public your military support by not only hiring veterans, but extending a hand to them during the stressful time transition.
