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​

​​Our focus is on building customized SkillBridge programs that align with your organization's specific needs and attracts the kind of service members who are best suited for your organization. 

 

​We believe in the value of military experience and are committed to helping organizations tap into this exceptional pool of skilled professionals.​​​

Military Onboard Solutions also facilitates the DoW SkillBridge Community of Practice LinkedIn group. A place where service members, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reservists come to learn about the program, and share their experience with others.  It's also where DoW-approved company POC's can market their opportunities and connect with the service members who align with their program.  

​​

The SkillBridge Community of Practice group is a Center of Excellence that helps to enable the successful civilianization of transitioning military members into great career pathways.

​

It's our intention to grow and evolve this group into a Center of Excellence to accelerate the successful transformation and civilianization of our transitioning military with opportunities in great career pathways.
