Job Description

The Military DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29. Separating Service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after unit commander (first O-4/Field Grade commander in chain of command) provides written authorization and approval. GE Aerospace as a SkillBridge partner offers real-world training and work experience in in-demand fields of work while having the opportunity to evaluate the Service member’s suitability for the work. Military DoD SkillBridge participants are not eligible for compensation from GE Aerospace, as they continue to receive military compensation and benefits as active-duty service members.

The Training Specialist is responsible for delivering a world-class training experience in support of integrated technical systems and networking devices for internal and external customers. This role owns and supports training-related activities for assigned products and programs, including systems-based instruction, curriculum development, digital learning content, customer interface, cross-functional coordination, engineering engagement, and new product introduction support. The position requires both systems engineering knowledge and technical training expertise to explain how products function within larger operational environments.
