Summary

This is an UNPAID internship through the DoD Skillbridge Program for transitioning active-duty US military personnel. DoD Skillbridge Internships are available to help transitioning active-duty military personnel gain real-world experience in the work force sometime during their final 180 days of active-duty service. The intern will actively train on meaningful projects and work closely with a mentor and with senior company leadership. HII Mission Technologies Internship programs are focused on placing transitioning military into internships that require KSAs, Education & Military Training similar to their current or previous military jobs; positions that could easily transition over to a full-time regular and permanent job with HII.

The SkillBridge intern will train as an CMS CJADC2 Planner within HII-Mission Technologies, reporting to a designated HII Supervisor. Participants will gain hands-on experience in operational planning, integrated air and missile defense (IAMD), and joint all-domain command and control (JADC2). The training emphasizes analytical rigor, joint planning processes, and operational integration across political, military, economic, social, information, and infrastructure (PMESII) domains. By the conclusion of the program, participants will be equipped to provide subject matter expertise in operational planning, crisis action planning, and joint decision-making processes, while supporting mission execution at the theater level.
