BRIDGE THE GAP.
ELEVATE THE TALENT.
We help you build programs that align mission-ready leaders with real business needs.
What Is SkillBridge?
SkillBridge connects you with transitioning service members before they leave the military—at no cost.
Every year, over 200,000+ active-duty service members transition out of the military. The DoD SkillBridge Program gives companies early access to this talent—during their last 180 days of service—through internships, fellowships, and on-the-job training.
You get full-time support from highly skilled veterans. The military continues to cover their pay and benefits.
TalentBase helps you design, manage, and source top-tier candidates for SkillBridge placements—so you gain talent without taking on the admin burden.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit
You may be eligible for up to $9,600 in tax credits when converting veterans to full-time hires.
Stronger Retention & Performance
Veterans are purpose-driven, values-aligned, and bring long-term performance to your team.
Why Veteran Programs Fail—And How We Fix It
Most veteran hiring programs fail because they’re treated like side projects—not strategic talent pipelines.
We fix that.
TalentBase brings the operational discipline of a recruiting firm, the lived experience of military leadership, and a deep understanding of how to translate service into civilian success.
