MOU status: DoD MOU current through December 10, 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 Department of Defense SkillBridge program at FCI Marion is a transition opportunity for active-duty service members in their final months of service. Through SkillBridge, participants gain real-world civilian work experience by shadowing correctional officers and observing operations across all departments of the facility. This hands-on exposure gives service members practical insight into daily prison operations and various roles within a federal correctional institution, helping them explore potential career paths.

What the work involves

A Federal Correctional Officer is responsible for maintaining the safety, security, and order of a federal prison facility. This includes supervising inmates, enforcing institutional rules and regulations, and ensuring the daily custody and care of incarcerated individuals. Officers monitor inmate activities and movements, conduct security checks and searches for contraband, and respond to incidents and emergencies as they arise. They also write reports on inmate behavior, document incidents, and escort inmates for medical appointments, court appearances, and other movements. Throughout their duties, correctional officers help to uphold the mission of the Federal Bureau of Prisons by ensuring a safe environment for staff, inmates, and the public.
