The Skillbridge program is an opportunity for active duty service members seeking careers as Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) instructors to obtain mandatory state licensure and national-level certifications while pursuing continuing education. The program is uniquely designed to meet the needs of active duty (or recently separated) service members and customized to conform to unique state-by-state requirements.
