Dave Schantz

Founder and Principal

Founded in 2020, Military Onboard Solutions knows the SkillBridge program from a service member, company, and DoD perspective.

Dave retired from the Navy, and participated in a SkillBridge fellowship with General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) as a Senior Training Advisor.​​

The SkillBridge fellowship culminated in Dave accepting a full-time position with GDIT. Over the next year Dave also helped GDIT's Talent Acquisitions team understand the program from a service member perspective.  After his first year with GDIT, a new position was created for Dave to lead and expand GDIT's SkillBridge program.

​

Over the next 2 years Dave grew GDIT's SkillBridge program more than 10X, taking them from 8 to 83 service members, and achieving a 94% hire rate.

​

Since then, Military Onboard Solutions was born and has built successful SkillBridge programs with hundreds of organizations, from startups to large enterprises, spanning many industries:​​​​

  • Professional Sports Franchises

  • Higher Education Institutions

  • Defense Contracting

  • State and Federal Organizations

  • Aviation

  • Healthcare

  • Distribution

  • Manufacturing

  • Construction

  • Non-profit Organizations​
