MOU status: DoD MOU current through May 5, 2028.

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.

Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

About Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security, headquartered in Washington, DC. ICE carries out its mission through two primary operational components: Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), which identifies, detains, and removes removable aliens from the United States, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which conducts criminal investigations targeting transnational criminal organizations, terrorist networks, and other threats to customs and immigration laws.

SkillBridge participants place into one of several tracks across 15 program locations in Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, New York, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, and the District of Columbia, with remote delivery also available. Tracks include legal work within the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, where interns support immigration court proceedings and provide legal advice to ICE agents and officers; criminal analysis within HSI, where participants learn how analysts gather intelligence to build cases against transnational criminal organizations; enforcement and removal assistance, covering case management, records management, bond processing, and removal logistics at the field office level; and human capital support within the Office of Human Capital, where interns work through federal HR processes including recruitment, position classification, employee relations, benefits administration, and compliance.

Each track is in-person and structured to give participants direct exposure to federal law enforcement operations and administrative processes. Internship durations vary by track, with some running 91 to 120 days and others listed as under review.
