SkillBridge - HR Project Management- BufferSprings

Human Resources Project Management Internship (DoD SkillBridge Opportunity)

Remote (Work from home) | 3 to 6 Months | Military Transition Internship

Step Into the Mission. Help Employers Get Military Hiring Right.

At BufferSprings, we partner with the nation's most committed employers to build military-effective programs that create real results. We do not wave flags or run job fairs that go nowhere. We train companies to do this the right way. And we are looking for transitioning service members who want to help lead that charge.

As a Human Resources Project Management Intern, you will play a key role in developing, supporting, and delivering HR strategies and training programs that directly impact veteran and military spouse hiring across our national partner network.

This is your chance to get real-world experience in employer engagement, workforce development, program execution, and data-driven strategy. You will be working directly with internal teams and external partners to solve real problems that matter to the military-connected community.

The Opportunity

This internship is built for high-performing service members with backgrounds in recruiting, operations, training, logistics, or admin. If you’ve ever managed a team, built a timeline, trained others, or aligned units to meet a mission objective, you already have the foundation. We’ll help you build the civilian version.

What You Will Do:

Collaborate with Employers on Strategy and Design

• Partner with HR teams to identify workforce challenges and build smart, scalable solutions

• Help develop veteran hiring and retention strategies that align with business goals

• Support the creation and delivery of employer training workshops and toolkits

• Work with program managers to coordinate timelines, track milestones, and execute deliverables

• Keep internal and client teams aligned through clear updates, briefings, and documentation

• Serve as a connector between BufferSprings staff and employer stakeholders

• Ensure communication is proactive, professional, and focused on outcomes

• Review survey results and feedback from employers, candidates, and program participants

• Identify trends, track engagement, and make recommendations for improvement

• Assist in reporting that showcases program value and ROI to leadership

• Use our CRM to manage client interactions, project tasks, and documentation

• Ensure accurate records and help streamline internal and partner workflows

• Take initiative, solve problems, and manage your responsibilities with confidence

• Bring forward ideas, observations, and improvements to help strengthen delivery and impact
