Veterans
Consider the energy industry for the next phase of your career.
There is no better way to honor our nation’s veterans than to provide support for a successful transition to civilian life. Military personnel bring strong values and experiences that are honed during their service time. TEP recognizes these attributes and encourages our veterans to join us on the road to success.
Your roadmap to a career in energy
SkillBridge
Veterans are critical to our company’s talent pipeline. Their experience and training has taught them the value of teamwork, communication, critical thinking and more importantly, leadership.
The SkillBridge program provides retiring and transitioning Service members the opportunity to participate in internship training programs while transitioning out of military careers.
SkillBridge matches civilian opportunities to your job training and work experience at the end of your military duty, while the Department of Defense covers military pay and benefits during a service member’s time in the program.
It’s a win-win. Military members, who are integrated within our organization, gain valuable corporate skills training and civilian workforce experience. And veterans help us build a more diverse workforce, with different backgrounds and experiences that foster innovation, creativity and productivity.
You may be eligible to participate in SkillBridge if you have 120–180 days of service remaining prior to your date of separation and you have at least 180 continuous days of active service. For more information, please contact Jennifer North at jennifer.north@tep.com.
