Our Projects
SOLID provides subject matter expertise, cutting-edge research and analysis, design, and sophisticated application development for a variety of clients and projects. While our primary body of work has been in the military to civilian space supporting several long-term contracts with the Department of Defense, the full scope of our work and our team’s capabilities is extensive. Following is just a selection of the projects we support.
COOLSM (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line)
The Problem: Service members have limited access to information on credentials that translate military occupations to the related civilian licenses, certifications, and apprenticeships that support their career both during service and after separation.
The SOLID Solution: COOLSM is an interactive website that uses a database of occupational and credentialing information to allow Service members to easily identify and attain credentials that will support their professional development in the military and beyond. SOLID’s extensive expertise in military and civilian occupational analysis allows for service-specific military occupations to be mapped to their related civilian credentials, providing opportunities for career advancement and recognition of skills acquired during the military life cycle.
SOLID has supported COOL since 2006.
MilGearsSM
The Problem: While in service, Service members struggle with identifying skill gaps in their training or experience to support their professional development and career goals. Post separation, translating military skills and experience into civilian job requirements is a challenge, leading to significant rates of underemployment, and earning below potential and skill level.
The SOLID Solution: Powered by COOLSM, MilGearsSM is a cutting-edge, web-based technology solution designed to support professional development for Service members at every stage of their career—from recruitment through transition—by connecting individual learning and experience to customized career and education opportunities. Built on an extensive aggregate of military and civilian occupational and credentialing data mapped by SOLID’s world-class analysts, MilGearsSM allows users to explore career paths, assess how their current experience matches up to job requirements, and advance their career goals.
SOLID has supported MilGears since it’s conception in 2017.
SkillBridge
Connecting Industry Partners to Transitioning Service members for Fully Funded, Real World Experience in In-Demand Fields
The Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program connects separating military Service members with industry partners, helping them gain invaluable real-world experience for a seamless transition to the civilian workforce. Eligible during the final 180 days of service, Service members enrolled in SkillBridge programs take part in specialized industry training, apprenticeships, or internships in in-demand fields while receiving full military compensation and benefits. A truly mutually beneficial partnership, SkillBridge industry partners get the opportunity to tap into a highly trained, motivated, and dependable population of workers at no cost, while providing indispensable knowledge, training, and on-the-job experience to Service members that can translate to post-service employment opportunities.
Navy College Program
A Comprehensive Planning Platform that Provides Navy Sailors the Opportunity to Make the Most of Educational Opportunities.
The Navy College Program enables Sailors to receive academic credit for training they receive and work they perform while serving on Active Duty. This includes classes and coursework completed remotely when deployed, including on ships and submarines. The Navy asked SOLID to redesign and redevelop the Navy College Program website as the Navy transitioned from on-base Navy College Offices to virtual support and counseling services that would be provided through the website. SOLID successfully supported the transition, developing a website and online tools that maintained high service levels and Sailor satisfaction during and after the transition.
