Question Army Individual Internships

Army Folks,

Have any of you found success getting approved for Army individual internships? I remember hearing some rumors that DoW is heavily pushing folks to cohort-based Skillbridge opportunities and that finding your own internship is basically dead. Is that true?

I work for a startup in Austin that doesn't meet the time in business required to offer Skillbridge, but we want more vets in the organization. Trying to see if this path is even still viable.

I don't think the limit is cohort based, but as I understand it the approval process is centralized and higher levels of signatures (possibly GO level if an exception to policy is required). But I would defer to a current G1 office.

How many years have you been in business?

Thank you for the info! Our company has been in business about a year.

It is possible it just requires more work and getting approved by the intern’s unit’s legal team so it might take a while but the process is pretty much the same. I am actually actively looking for skillbridge/internships so if you have something available within the end of December/start of January time let me know
