“I interviewed with my desired company and three days later, they offered me a job!  I am SO thankful for the Skillbridge program and specifically for KYO to allow me the opportunity to make my transition out of the military a successful one.  Without the time to focus on learning the skills of resume building and networking, attending the program management training, and gaining the operations experience I've gained through my KYO internship, I would not have been able to get hired on by a major company so soon.  Thank you so much for your help and guidance and mentorship as we navigate through these difficult transitions from military to civilian life! Couldn't have done it without Skillbridge and KYO.”

Words from some of our Amazing Partners

"As an employer, it was a fantastic way to work and train interns for the positions for which we are looking to hire. So much so that we've hired 50% of the interns with whom we have worked in KYO's Skillbridge program. The other 50% we mentored on going to college and were excited when they were accepted in college."

 

- Joshua Lawton, CEO Squared Compass -

"The skillbridge program managed by KYO has been one of the top 5 best decisions I’ve made for my business in the past two years. The hires that come in are highly motivated to prove themselves in our modern tech-work environment. I mean you have guys that used to be engineers on submarines now working on my CRM automation… It’s absolutely incredible quite frankly and it’s incredibly rewarding to see them grow within our team and learn the necessary skills to eventually get hired by us after their engagement or to find work outside the workforce. Overall you’d be stupid not to try this out, you can’t find qualified employees like this from anywhere else and for the price, the value is insane."

​

- Yousef Okasheh, CEO Floori.io -

"KYO has been able to augment our Marketing Contract with Skillbridge Talent, allowing us to be more effective with less cost. All while supporting our veterans."
