Bunker Labs Minneapolis Fellowship

In 2017, we will launch the Transition Fellowship program in order to realize a great opportunity – assisting transitioning military service members by placing them in corporate internships.  Through the Department of Defense (DoD) Skillbridge program, the Fellowship will help veterans work at civilian internships before they are formally separated from the military – allowing the service members have the time they need to build a professional network, develop a professional skill set and experience, evaluate potential careers, relocate to their desired post-military residence, and ultimately begin to acclimate to post-military life.

We believe this is a unique opportunity in Minnesota for veterans, our corporate partners, and for the DoD to support their strategic transition goals:

Transitioning Veterans – An opportunity to begin translating their immense professional military experience into an industry while still receiving full military benefits.

Corporate Partners  – An opportunity to support military veterans in their transition to civilian employment by providing exposure to industries through unpaid internships. In short, free labor from some of the most dedicated, driven and resourceful professionals in the world, and a first opportunity to snatch them up.
