DoD Skillbridge Opportunities

Worthington Steel is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of Defense-certified SkillBridge Program, connecting transitioning service members to skills training and career opportunities. This program is hosted at several Worthington locations with a focus on those interested in skilled trade and operation leadership roles. Participants spend their last 180 days of service with us, learning about the business, key processes and various roles within the facility while following a dedicated training plan and being mentored by some of our seasoned employees. 

If you’re interested in gaining valuable experience while completing your military service, this program offers a strong start.
