JK Moving Services - a global moving, storage, relocation and logistics company based in Sterling, Virginia, USA - was recently selected as an authorised SkillBridge Partner.

The prestigious Department of Defense (DoD) programme helps service members of any rank exiting military life transition to new opportunities. 

SkillBridge matches civilian opportunities to service members’ job training and work experience and permits service members to use the last 180 days of their service to train and learn with an industry partner while continuing to receive their military pay and benefits.

The first JK SkillBridge ‘graduate’ is a Navy veteran and has joined the JK team in moving logistics after earning his Commercial Driver’s Licence. With the pilot portion of the programme complete, the company has already accepted six more service members onto the programme.

JK Moving President David Cox said, “We are honoured to be working with SkillBridge and excited to tap into the outstanding talent of members of our Armed Forces who are leaving the service. SkillBridge connects us with officers and enlisted members that are a good match and helps them make the move to the private sector. We are military-friendly and look forward to JK becoming a great career choice for even more of those who have served.”

JK, along with its sister company CapRelo, employs nearly 1,100 people, the majority of which live in the Washington, DC metropolitan region. The company expects to expand its workforce in 2023 to service demand. The company has won numerous awards, including being recognised by the Washington Business Journal as a Best Place to Work and Top Corporate Philanthropist.
