The WorkEx program acts as the approving authority for a customized, individual internship and is an approved Career Skills (CSP)/DoD SkillBridge Program based at JBLM in WA, serving active-duty soldiers nationwide. The WorkEx program allows eligible active duty transitioning service members to participate in a 6-17 week (up to 180 days with chain of command approval) hands-on work-based learning opportunity with a host employer (local or remote) to bridge the gap in skills and experience needed to land a full-time career opportunity within the civilian workforce.
