Skillbridge Program: Congressional Fellowships for Service Members
This new act allows service members to participate in fellowships within congressional offices, the Senate, or House committees under the Skillbridge program. This aims to assist their transition from military to civilian life by offering valuable professional experience and a better understanding of the legislative process.
Key points
Service members can undertake fellowships in congressional offices, the Senate, House of Representatives, or congressional committees.
Fellowships last up to 180 days, designed to ease the transition from military to civilian employment.
Rules are established to ensure service members are qualified and to prevent too many fellows in one office at a time.
