SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: SkillBridge Application,
OMB Control Number 0704-DSBP.
Needs and Uses: DoD's SkillBridge program is an opportunity for
Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through
specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during
their last 180 days of service. DoD SkillBridge connects transitioning
Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences.
For Service members, SkillBridge provides an invaluable chance to work
and learn in civilian career areas. For industry partners, SkillBridge
is an opportunity to access and leverage the world's most highly
trained and motivated workforce at no cost. Service members
participating in DoD SkillBridge programs continue receiving their
military compensation and benefits, while industry partners provide the
civilian training and work experience. Some SkillBridge partners may
offer skills training and employment opportunities for military spouses
and veterans as well as transitioning Service members.
The authorities for SkillBridge are 10 United States Code section
1143 and DoDI 1322.29 (Jobs Training, Employment Skills Training,
Apprenticeships, and Internships for Eligible Service Members. In
addition, the proposed information collection addresses many of the
recommendations made by the Government Accountability Office in its
August 2024 report Better Collection and Analysis of Military Service
Data Needed to Improve Oversight of the Skillbridge Program (GAO-24-
107352).
DoD is applying for the OMB review of the Skillbridge Application.
Organizations that are interested in becoming industry partners will
download the application from the DoD Skillbridge website, complete the
application, and submit it to DoD. The Department will review the
application to determine if the applicant meets the established
criteria, consents to the policies outlined in the application, and if
DoD approves the application, contact the applicant, and establish the
relationship. As part of their agreement with DoD, all Skillbridge
partners are required to provide regular updates on their Service
member participants (e.g., how many Service members applied to them,
how many were accepted into the organization, and if they were offered
employment at the end of the program).
Affected Public: Federal, state, and local agencies, private
business or other for-profit; non-profit organizations, individuals, or
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 300.
Number of Respondents: 1,200.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 1,200.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: Once.
All the information collection will be executed with information
technology. All records are stored in an electronic format retrievable
by approved participating organizations directly via a token sign in,
and/or electronically emailed to approved participants.
Dated: December 5, 2024.
