Veteran-owned professional services firm supporting military transition through career planning for service members, veteran talent acquisition, employer training and DoD SkillBridge programme design.
Five & Fly is a veteran-owned professional services firm working on both sides of the military-to-civilian transition. For employers, it provides veteran talent acquisition services, education and training on employing and supporting veterans, and the design and implementation of Department of Defense SkillBridge programmes - the mechanism through which service members gain civilian work experience in the final months of their enlistment. SkillBridge partnerships are the main way employers access this pipeline.
For service members and veterans, the firm offers transition preparation and career planning services ahead of military separation, along with access to open opportunities and accounts from people who have successfully moved into civilian life. Its stated aim is to help veterans find meaningful and fulfilling civilian employment.
The firm's mission is explicitly tied to outcomes after service: it seeks to help prevent veteran suicide in the five years following military separation by supporting a stable transition into civilian work. Its fields of activity span veteran and military employment services, professional services, talent acquisition and human resources, and Department of Defense transition support. Further details on founding date, team size and geographic coverage are not published.
