In person

MOU status: DoD MOU current through December 8, 2027.

What these labels mean

MOU active: An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
MOU expires soon: The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
MOU expired: The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
MOU date not stated: The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
Detailed listing: The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
Partial listing: Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
Sparse listing: Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.

Summary

Barnes Network Solutions (BNS) is a Florida-based security technology integration company specializing in access control systems, video surveillance (CCTV/IP cameras), structured cabling and networking, intrusion detection systems, and electronic security infrastructure for government, commercial, healthcare, and industrial clients. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, BNS supports projects throughout the state and partners with industry-leading manufacturers including Axis Communications, Verkada, Genetec, AMAG Symmetry, Software House, Avigilon, DMP, Brivo, and Lenel S2. Our team is mission-driven, process-oriented, and built on the same values that make military service members successful: accountability, technical excellence, adaptability, and teamwork. The Barnes Network Solutions SkillBridge Program provides transitioning service members with hands-on experience supporting real-world security technology projects from planning and installation through testing, commissioning, and project closeout. Participants work alongside experienced technicians and project managers while gaining practical skills directly applicable to civilian careers in security integration, network infrastructure, physical security technology, and technical project coordination. Training includes installing and terminating CAT6 and fiber optic cabling, mounting and configuring IP cameras, installing access control hardware and intrusion detection systems, troubleshooting network-connected devices, conducting system testing, and assisting with project documentation and closeout activities. This program is designed for service members with backgrounds in electronics, communications, information technology, networking, engineering, construction, facilities maintenance, or related technical fields, though prior security integration experience is not required. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will have gained real-world civilian work experience, marketable technical skills, professional references, and documented project experience in a high-demand industry. High-performing participants may be considered for future employment opportunities with Barnes Network Solutions in roles such as Security Technology Technician, Lead Technician, or Project Coordinator.

Eligibility

This opening is located in Jacksonville, FL.

What the work involves

Participants will receive hands-on training in both technical operations and project support functions within the security technology industry. Technical training includes installing and terminating CAT6 and fiber optic cabling, mounting and configuring IP camera systems, assisting with access control hardware installations such as card readers, control panels, and door hardware, and supporting network device setup including PoE switches, injectors, and system testing. Participants will also gain experience with system commissioning, troubleshooting, documentation, and best practices for maintaining electronic security systems. In addition to technical field work, participants will learn key project support functions including reading scopes of work and construction drawings, material staging and inventory tracking, jobsite coordination, safety compliance, as-built documentation, and project closeout procedures. The program also emphasizes professional development through exposure to industry-leading platforms such as Axis, Verkada, Genetec, AMAG, Software House, Avigilon, and other security technologies. Participants will develop an understanding of permitting requirements, industry compliance standards, and customer expectations while gaining experience communicating with clients, subcontractors, vendors, and internal project teams. Optional resume development and interview coaching are available to help participants prepare for their transition into civilian careers. This opportunity is particularly well-suited for service members with experience or interest in Electronics Technician (ET), Information Technology, Networking, Communications, Engineering, Construction, Facilities Maintenance, or other technical disciplines. Upon completion of the program, participants will have gained valuable civilian work experience in a high-demand industry, developed marketable technical skills, and built professional references while working with a variety of security platforms and technologies. High-performing participants may be considered for future employment opportunities with Barnes Network Solutions, including full-time Security Technology Technician or Project Coordinator positions upon successful completion of the program and separation from military service.
