SkillBridge Partnership Program
Structured transition training for service members preparing for leadership and ownership beyond uniformed service.
Partnership & Program Structure
Mission Main Street delivers its SkillBridge programming in partnership with Shift Group, an approved Department of Defense SkillBridge provider. Through this partnership, eligible service members participate in a structured, supervised training experience that meets SkillBridge requirements while preparing for ownership and operational leadership on Main Street.
Flexible Duration: 2–6 Months
The MMS SkillBridge pathway is designed to align with a service member’s approved transition timeline. Participants may engage in the program for a duration of two to six months, depending on command authorization, eligibility, and individual readiness.
2–3 Month Option: Focused immersion in core operating systems and ownership readiness.
4–6 Month Option: Full operating system completion with deeper mentorship, deliverables, and track-specific execution (Launch, Acquire, or Leadership).
All program participation operates within the compliance framework and oversight of our approved SkillBridge partner.
