MOU status: DoD MOU current through December 1, 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.

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

Summary

This 26-week structured rotational fellowship gives transitioning service members hands-on, mentor-led experience across three Hillphoenix departments — Service, Construction, and Warehouse/Parts. Rather than training in a single function, you will rotate through all three to gain a well-rounded view of our operations while Hillphoenix evaluates your skills, work ethic, and best-fit placement for long-term employment. The program is structured around six progressive phases, moving from orientation through three departmental rotations to focused specialization and a final readiness assessment. A dedicated mentor will guide you throughout, with bi-weekly check-ins along the way. This is structured training with the intent to hire — not temporary or unsupervised labor. Each phase is mentor-led, hands-on, and designed to prepare you for a meaningful civilian career. Upon successful completion of the fellowship and military separation, high-performing fellows may be considered for full-time employment in their identified strength area.
