SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — VetComm’s Department of Defense-approved SkillBridge program delivered exceptional results in 2025, surpassing federal benchmarks and reinforcing the organization’s commitment to supporting transitioning service members with meaningful civilian careers.
Over the past year, VetComm received 149 SkillBridge applications, reflecting strong national interest in the program. Of those, 27 candidates earned command approval, a critical step in the process. By the end of 2025, five service members were actively participating in the program, with that number set to double to ten by Jan. 6.
Most notably, VetComm hired 11 SkillBridge participants into permanent roles, more than five times the Department of Defense’s minimum expectation of two hires per year.
VetComm’s SkillBridge program places active-duty service members into immersive, career-building roles during their final months of service through two primary pathways: the VetComm F3 Cybersecurity Certification Program and the Veterans Claims Associate Program.
The VetComm F3 Cybersecurity Certification Program is a ten-week, full-time virtual education track designed to prepare participants for in-demand careers in cybersecurity. Service members receive hands-on training and the opportunity to earn industry-recognized credentials including CompTIA Security+, Linux+ and Splunk (Power User). Graduates leave the program equipped for roles such as Cybersecurity Analyst, IT Security Specialist, Network Administrator, Systems Administrator or Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst, entering a fast-growing field with real earning power and long-term stability.
The Veterans Claims Associate Program places participants on the front lines of veteran advocacy. SkillBridge members learn how to guide veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs benefits process by explaining eligibility criteria, reviewing claims and helping gather evidence. Participants are trained to assess medical disabilities, conduct comprehensive claims reviews, engage directly with veterans and their families, manage correspondence and accurately document cases using VetComm’s CRM system. The role provides both professional experience and a direct hand in changing the lives of fellow veterans.
These pathways provide participants with real-world skills, mentorship and a direct bridge into civilian employment, often within VetComm itself.
The outcomes from 2025 demonstrate that when transition programs are built by veterans, for veterans, they work. With a growing pipeline of approved candidates and expanded onboarding in early 2026, VetComm is positioned to make an even greater impact in the year ahead.
