MOU status: DoD MOU current through November 24, 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

The Soil Health Academy is seeking a dynamic leader who wants to transition from active military service to a regenerative ranching operation. This exciting opportunity combines hands-on experience in regenerative grazing and military land management. The program is in collaboration with the U.S. Army’s first regenerative grazing initiative at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA. Participants will engage with techniques in adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing, soil health management, and biodiversity restoration, that ultimately lead to military training land resilience.

What the work involves

The Soil Health Academy (SHA) offers a 60-180 day program for service members transitioning from active duty to regenerative ranching. This immersive opportunity provides hands-on training in regenerative grazing and land restoration, preparing participants to lead in agriculture's future. Based at the Regenerative Grazing Open Air Lab (R-GOAL) at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA, the program combines traditional learning with hands on practical experience. Participants will receive training in essential skills, including fencing, water system setup, livestock movement, and solar power setup. They will learn pasture management, cattle observation, and metrics collection to monitor soil health and livestock performance. Formal regenerative agriculture training will cover soil health, environmental impacts, and profitability, with expert guest lecturers. Participants will also be trained in stockmanship, supplement management, and enterprise analysis. Participants may help with hosting and briefing senior officials and contribute to data management and progress reporting. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain experience at the intersection of regenerative agriculture and military land management.
