Skillbridge

The U.S. Department of Defense’s Skillbridge internship provides active-duty military members with hands-on civilian job experience for up to six months. If you’re a transitioning service member interested in participating, click here to apply.

“U.S. Xpress was incredible throughout my Skillbridge internship. Their support, guidance and mentorship made all the difference in my transition from military service. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a place with U.S. Xpress at the end of my internship, helping me seamlessly step into a full-time role in Talent Acquisition. I’m grateful to be part of an organization committed to helping service members transition into successful civilian careers.”

Corporate Fellows Program

Through Hiring Our Heroes, an organization focused on placing veterans in American corporations, service members are matched with civilian employers that fit their career goals. The 12-week program features three cohorts per year. Those interested in being matched with an employer can find more information through Hiring Our Heroes.

The Corporate Fellowship Program was key to get my foot in the door at U.S. Xpress as I transitioned out of the military. It helped to mitigate much of my apprehension after over 22 years as a Marine and served to make the company more accessible. Bottom line: This program is essential for transitioning servicemembers, and I’m happy that U.S. Xpress has continued to take advantage of it.
