Hear from SkillBridge Participants

"I owe everything to Code Platoon and SkillBridge. Leaving the safety net of the military was daunting, but with Code Platoon, I got the support network I had in the military, outside of the military."

Seth Thomas

Army Veteran | Software Developer, 8th Light

“SkillBridge and Code Platoon got me where I am today. I learned how to communicate with people, write applications, and keep track of features, and then made the leap to my first tech job a month later. Without these programs, I would probably still be struggling to get my foot in the door.”

Michael Grandori

Army Veteran | Full-stack Software Engineer, Motorola Solutions

Code Platoon had a program that fit perfectly into my SkillBridge window. It’s hard to transition out of the military, but doing it with a team that understood and surrounded me with others in that transition made it easier.
