About The Position

SkillBridge is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that allows service members to complete an internship with a civilian company during the last 180 days of their active-duty contract. You get released from duties at your military installation for a permissive temporary duty assignment with UPMC performing industry relevant tasks that prepare you for civilian employment. As the largest Department of Defense SkillBridge provider in Pennsylvania, UPMC is ready to help you transition out of active duty and into a rewarding and meaningful civilian career. Any rank, enlisted or officer, may apply for SkillBridge. During SkillBridge participation you continue to receive military compensation, and you are covered by your military benefits. Release for SkillBridge is always mission-dependent and your unit Commander must authorize participation prior to entering into any agreement with UPMC. At UPMC, we don't just offer internships - we offer launchpads for purpose-driven careers. As Pennsylvania's largest non-governmental employer and a nationally recognized healthcare leader, UPMC provides transitioning service members with unmatched access to: Mission-Aligned Opportunities: Whether you're pursuing clinical care, IT, logistics, HR, or operations, we align your military experience with meaningful civilian roles.

We offer personalized guidance, mentorship, and advocacy throughout your transition. Career Mobility: With thousands of open positions across our system, your internship can lead to long-term growth in one of the most respected healthcare networks in the country.
