Orion Talent proudly participates in SkillBridge, a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative bridging the gap between military service and a rewarding civilian career. Through SkillBridge, companies offer internships during a service member's last 180 days of active duty service, providing hands-on experience and industry exposure and allowing transitioning service members the opportunity to explore and train in their chosen field before their official separation from the military, all while still receiving military compensation and benefits.
Any rank - officer or enlisted - is eligible to apply for SkillBridge. A SkillBridge internship enhances your marketability and sets you up for civilian success. Please note that release for SkillBridge is always mission dependent and your unit Commander must authorize participation prior to entering into any agreement with interested industry employment partners.
There's no need to navigate SkillBridge alone. As an authorized SkillBridge provider, Orion Talent can match you with an industry partner's SkillBridge program or recommend one of our internal internship opportunities.
Orion Talent's partnership with Tooling U-SME allows transitioning service members to earn in-demand certifications from anywhere, equipping candidates with comprehensive industry understanding and the practical skills needed to succeed in the manufacturing industry. Through our partnership with Tooling U-SME, we're currently offering certification programs in: Robotics in Manufacturing Fundamentals (RFM), Certified Manufacturing Associate (CMfgA), and Electric Vehicles Fundamentals (EVF).
The global robotics market is expected to reach $74 billion by 2026, and Tooling U-SME's Robotics in Manufacturing Fundamentals (RMF) Certification is an innovative program tailored to meet the rising demand for robotics and advanced manufacturing talent. Developed with the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation and FIRST®, this credential provides candidates with the fundamentals to begin a lifelong career in the manufacturing industry. This program is ideal for candidates looking to upskill or reskill into a rewarding manufacturing career.
Tooling U-SME's 25-course Certified Manufacturing Associate online training program prepares candidates for high-demand, entry-level careers in manufacturing and can be paired with a nationally recognized Certified Manufacturing Associate credential. With content developed by industry experts, candidates learn basic concepts in additive manufacturing, blueprint reading, CNC, Inspection, Lean, Math fundamentals, measurement and inspection, quality, robotics, safety, and troubleshooting. Candidates who complete the SME Certified Manufacturing Associate (CMfgA) credential have the foundational manufacturing knowledge needed to succeed in entry-level employment.
The number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road is expected to reach 26.4 million by 2030 in the United States. In order to meet the growing demand for talent in this fast-growing industry, Tooling U-SME developed the Electric Vehicles Fundamentals (EVF) Certification. This training course is designed to prepare candidates for entry-level positions in automotive assembly and the production of electric vehicles. The SME Electric Vehicles Fundamentals (EVF) Certification focuses on the fundamentals of electric vehicles and covers topics including EV production and assembly, safety, quality, measurement, math fundamentals, blueprint reading, robotics, electrical units, power sources and variables, battery components and management, and fundamentals of electric mobility.
Our certified entry-level candidates are known for their industry-recognized certifications, exceptional training, leadership skills, problem-solving capabilities, and technical expertise. An estimated 2.1 million manufacturing jobs could go unfilled by 2030 due to lack of skilled talent, and one of these jobs could be yours.
If you are interested in any of these programs, please fill out this form for more information.
If manufacturing certifications are not for you, please check back in 2024 for new, exciting certification programs in more industries or check out Orion's internal internship opportunities.
