MOU status: DoD MOU current through March 12, 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 Vantage Point Solutions SkillBridge program provides transitioning service members with hands-on training in Construction Design and outside plant (OSP) fiber network design. This program is designed to develop job-ready skills through a structured combination of classroom instruction and on-the-job training led by experienced industry professionals. Participants will learn the full Construction Design workflow, including project lifecycle understanding, routing and layout standards, and the use of industry tools such as Google Earth, Earth Point, and v Design. Training progresses from foundational concepts to practical application, where trainees complete real-world routing exercises and a full simulated design project based on actual construction data. Throughout the program, participants gain experience in project setup, pre-staking, staking, and post-staking processes, while developing critical skills in data accuracy, system navigation, and quality control. Emphasis is placed on interpreting design requirements, applying standards, and independently validating work to ensure construction-ready deliverables. By the end of the program, participants will have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to contribute to fiber design projects in a professional setting, preparing them for entry-level roles in Construction Design and OSP engineering support.
