Launch Your Career in Tax & Finance with The Oasis Firm SkillBridge Program. A 90-Day Internship for Transitioning Military Service Members

The Oasis Firm SkillBridge Program

What is SkillBridge?

The Department of Defense (DoD) SkillBridge Program is a unique opportunity for service members during their last 180 days of active duty to gain civilian work experience through internships and training with trusted industry partners. SkillBridge empowers transitioning military personnel to explore new career paths, apply their discipline and leadership to real-world roles, and build connections in the civilian workforce—all while continuing to receive military pay and benefits. By participating, veterans get hands-on, relevant experience at no cost, ensuring a smoother and more confident transition to life after military service.

Your military service has equipped you with invaluable skills—let The Oasis Firm help you translate those strengths into an exciting and impactful civilian career in tax and financial services.
