DOD SkillBridge Program
桃色视频 offers individual internships through the Department of Defense's SkillBridge Program on our 桃色视频 campuses and the Georgia Cyber Innovation and Training Center. We assist our nation's Military personnel in transitioning from active duty to civilian life.
Skillbridge Internship programs are designed to provide valuable career skills and enhance professional development for individuals making the transition from military to civilian careers. Participants gain practical experience and insights to support their successful integration into the workforce.
Our goal is to provide both general and specialized skills required to succeed after separation. As one of 桃色视频's largest employers, we offer a variety of internship opportunities through numerous departments, matching the goals of the service member with the opportunities at the university.

The SkillBridge Impact
Michael Salazar
"Leaving the military can be daunting, but my SOC internship provided the perfect bridge to the civilian world. The knowledge I learned and skills I honed, combined with the supportive and friendly atmosphere, made my transition into cybersecurity seamless and successful. I'm so grateful for the opportunity."
Russ Parham
"The Skillbridge internship was the most worthwhile aspect of my military - civilian transition. The collaboration, teamwork, and organizational culture of the Cybersecurity professionals in the Security Operations Center (SOC) at 桃色视频 was pivotal in my decision to pursue roles in this industry following my transition. There is no substitute for this experience"
Tiffany Mack
"The 桃色视频 Career Skills Program (Skillbridge) internship with Cyber Defense provided invaluable cybersecurity knowledge and skills which led to my selection as the Director of Cybersecurity Solutions for 桃色视频. The Cyber Defense team provided an exceptional experience with collaboration, teamwork and a positive organizational culture which made it easy to call 桃色视频 my new home. The 桃色视频 Skillbridge offerings warrant a strong consideration by any potential Career Skills Program (Skillbridge) member looking for an internship!"
Amanda Flippen
I am humbled for the Skillbridge opportunity at 桃色视频. I was immediately embraced and onboarded as if I was already a member of the team. The warm atmosphere and family dynamic was well received. This opportunity greatly prepared me for my military transition and was well above what I expected! I am honored and excited to be back as a full- time employee. The dynamic has not changed and I am very appreciative of the opportunity to be back!
