MOU status: DoD MOU current through December 1, 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.

Summary

The Correctional Operations Specialist (COS) position is part of a 6-week intensive training program designed for transitioning military service members under the Department of Defense SkillBridge Transition Program. The program offers comprehensive exposure to correctional operations, security procedures, institutional services, and administrative practices, all based on Bureau of Prisons (BOP) training standards. Through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on training, candidates will gain a broad understanding of correctional services and law enforcement functions, preparing them for roles within correctional facilities and other related environments. Throughout the program, participants will engage in a variety of activities designed to develop key skills in security and inmate management, emergency response, and operational procedures. They will learn to enforce institutional security protocols, manage inmate counts, conduct contraband searches, and respond to crisis situations such as hostage scenarios and inmate disturbances. In addition to shadowing correctional officers and other staff members, participants will rotate through multiple departments, gaining insights into areas such as food service, health services, facilities management, and inmate education and recreation programs. Weekly employee development sessions will support career readiness, covering topics like federal job applications, resume building, and understanding federal benefits. The program culminates in a hands-on capstone project where participants will shadow a department of their choice, preparing for a seamless transition into the workforce.
