Career Skills Program

The Army Career Skills Program (CSP) is a component of the Transition Soldier Life Cycle model that encourages Soldiers to capitalize on training and development opportunities throughout their military careers so that they grow and develop as Soldiers fully capable of serving our Nation—both in uniform and as civilians beyond their military service.

 

Soldiers are authorized to participate in one Army Career Skills Program during their last 180 days in the Service. They can either participate in a CSP, DoD SkillBridge Program, or an Individual Internship Program.  The CSP is a Commander’s program and a Soldier’s participation in a CSP must be approved by the first field grade officer with UCMJ authority in the Soldier’s chain of command.
