SkillBridge
At Atlas Tech, we take immense pride in our commitment to supporting veterans and our active involvement in the SkillBridge program. We recognize the invaluable skills, dedication, and experience that veterans bring to the workforce. Our belief in empowering veterans to transition seamlessly into civilian careers is not just a statement; it's a core part of our company. Through our participation in the Department of Defense SkillBridge program, we aim to provide veterans with meaningful opportunities post-military life, allowing them to leverage their military expertise and embark on fulfilling careers in the technology sector.
Making the Transition
The Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program is not just about acquiring new skills. It's about establishing meaningful networks too. SkillBridge connects those leaving the military with industry partners, like Atlas Tech, to gain valuable in-depth, on-the-job training during the last 180 days of service.

What surprised you the most about the program?
Initially, I thought since this was an internship that
I’d be assigned a few basic-level tasks to keep me occupied, but Atlas did the complete opposite. I was treated like a full-time employee from day one. I was assigned to a project and given the same expectations and responsibilities as all other Team Members.
How Did the SkillBridge Program help your transition from Active Duty to a Civilian Career?
SkillBridge helped me by allowing me to get real-time hands-on experience in an actual civilian work environment.
What would you tell others thinking about applying for this internship opportunity?
DO IT!!! The knowledge and experience needed in a civilian career can only be gained by doing the job. At Atlas I was not treated as an intern, but as a true and valued member of the team.
