Why Skillbridge at UNO?

From advising to research, and from teaching to technology, UNO, much like the military, needs all kinds of skills and knowledge to operate. We recognize that in addition to technical skills and education, Veterans also have well developed soft skills which align well with work in higher education.

Skillbridge at UNO provides a pathway for Veterans into the various occupations available on our campus and in the NU System.

Skillbridge Goal

Our goal is to help more Veterans transition into careers in higher education, the state of Nebraska, and the NU System.

Target Audience

UNO's Skillbridge program supports Veterans seeking to gain experience in career fields of their choice in the higher education system or seeking to continue their formal education.

Outcomes

During the internship, work experience, or through formal education, participants can expect their Skillbridge to provide skills which align with their civilian career of choice and networking opportunities internal and external to the University system.

3 Skillbridge Pathways to UNO

There are three ways to Skillbridge at UNO. Most of our Veterans enter via an experience internship where they can learn more about the University, the career opportunities available, and network to find an opportunity to suit them. Others apply directly into open positions and if hired, start via the Skillbridge program, eventually transitioning to paid employment. The final way is via formal education which leads to industry recognized credentials required for the Veterans career of choice.

Employment Experience Formal Education

For those pursuing employment following internship and service, aligned to open full-time opportunities at UNO.

For those interested in gaining general experience in higher education outside of the military For those interested in industry recognized education and training following service
