Skillbridge Internship Program (Military Transition Program)
About The Position
QTS partners with the Department of War (DoW) SkillBridge Program to support service members transitioning from military service to civilian careers. Through structured learning, hands-on experience, and mentorship from industry professionals, participants gain exposure to work across QTS. Interns are matched with departments and teams based on their backgrounds, interests, and organizational needs; the exact duties may vary by placement. Participants may support strategic projects and day-to-day operations, collaborate with cross-functional teams, conduct research and analyze data, and learn the practices and technologies relevant to their assigned business area. They also have opportunities to shadow experienced professionals, attend meetings and professional development activities, contribute ideas for process improvement, and build professional skills and networks. Program participation does not guarantee employment. Participants are paid by the DoW, not QTS. Start and end dates are coordinated with the participant’s military command and QTS Talent Acquisition team. Opportunities may be based at a QTS data center, operations facility, or People Center. Housing, relocation, and travel assistance are not provided unless specified for a particular opportunity.
