A logical assumption, to be sure, but as it turns out, also an inaccurate one. There are a few provisions and programs out there that DO allow service members this opportunity, so stick with me while I lay some knowledge on you.<\/p>\n<h4>Job Training, Employment Skills Training, Apprenticeships, Internships (JTEST-AI) for Eligible Service Members<\/h4>\n<p>The first one is the most all-encompassing one, because it is open to any service member who has served at least 180 days on active duty. The Department of Defense Instruction 1322.29 lays out the program terms, eligibility requirements, and criteria for you, so I\u2019m not going to break it all down here. What I will tell you (to further encourage you to definitely go check it out yourself) is that, if approved, your internship will be where you spend up to the last 180 days of your active service, and <em>it doesn\u2019t have to have anything to do with your current MOS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right. The JTEST-AI provides you a way to gain valuable experience and make connections in the industry in which you intend to work when you are discharged, while you are on active duty, even if you are going from Motor-T into Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Now of course, like anything in the military, there are rules and some \u201chowever-comma\u201d stipulations, so you must, must, must do your research before you start getting the wheels turning. What you should definitely know from the outset is that you cannot extend your enlistment\/reenlist after participating in the JTEST-AI, so you definitely have to be getting out.<\/p>\n<p>Talk with your <a href=\"https:\/\/dodskillbridge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">transition assistance office<\/a>\u00a0and check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dtic.mil\/whs\/directives\/corres\/pdf\/132229p.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">DoDI<\/a> so you have as much information as possible when approaching your command.<\/p>\n<h4>Operation Warfighter (OWF)<\/h4>\n<p>Operation Warfighter is a Department of Defense internship program that provides sick and wounded service members the opportunity to intern at one of 24 federal agencies while they are recuperating. Unlike the JTEST-AI, these service members can return to active duty after their internship &#8211; once they have been medically cleared, of course.<\/p>\n<p>Interested service members must contact <a href=\"mailto:OSD.OWF@mail.mil\">OSD.OWF@mail.mil<\/a>, <a href=\"mailto:warriorcare@osd.mil@osd.mil\">warriorcare@osd.mil<\/a>, or the <a href=\"http:\/\/warriorcare.dodlive.mil\/owf-regional-coordinators\/\">Regional Coordinator<\/a> for their region prior to placement in an internship program. For more information check out <a href=\"http:\/\/warriorcare.dodlive.mil\/wounded-warrior-resources\/operation-warfighter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Operation Warfighter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Intelligence Community Wounded Warrior Internship Program (ICWWP)<\/h4>\n<p>Dovetailing with OWF, the ICWWP is for those service members interested in working within the Intelligence Community (IC). Currently, 14 agencies participate in this program, which is being helmed by the Defense Intelligence Agency. According to their ICWWP page, \u201cWounded, ill, or injured Active Duty Service Members, Mobilized Reservists or National Guardsmen assigned to a medical treatment facility are eligible to participate in an IC internship.\u00a0Eligible candidates must also receive approval for participation by their Chain of Command and successfully complete a security background investigation, counterintelligence (CI) scope polygraph examination and drug screening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>**Note** You can still apply if you do not currently have a security clearance; they will screen you for one during the application process.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this program, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dia.mil\/Careers\/Wounded-Warrior-Internship-Program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wounded Warrior Internship<\/a> program or\u00a0contact Mr. Torland Wingfield or Ms. Bonita Martin at <a href=\"mailto:DIA_ICWWIP@dodiis.mil\">DIA_ICWWIP@dodiis.mil<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As you have seen, participating in an internship while you are still on active duty is not an unattainable goal. While it will take research, drive, and tenacity to make it a reality, the benefits to you in the long run cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rachel Dhaliwal Contributor, Career Coach If you\u2019re like most service members, chances are you\u2019ve assumed that you can\u2019t have an internship while on active duty.
