Program by Tidewater Scale & Butcher Supplies, Inc.
Transition into a Civilian Career with Hands-On Training in Industrial Equipment & Food Processing Solutions
What is DoD SkillBridge?
The DoD SkillBridge Program connects transitioning service members with civilian career training opportunities during their final days of active duty. Tidewater Scale & Butcher Supplies, Inc., a small friends & family-oriented business, is an approved SkillBridge provider offering hands-on, real-world training in industrial equipment maintenance, food processing technology, and sales solutions. As a local Hampton Roads small business, we’re rooted in community and care about our people—bringing you a personal touch you won’t find at big corporations.
Why Choose Tidewater Scale & Butcher Supplies?
For over 50 years, we’ve been a trusted leader in food processing equipment, weighing solutions, and industrial maintenance. Unlike large corporations where you might feel like just a number, we’re a small business with a tight-knit culture that values every individual. We know transitioning to civilian work can be tough--research shows 43% of veterans leave their first job within a year, and 80% within two years, often due to mismatched skills or limited growth opportunities (Korn Ferry, 2021).
At Tidewater Scale, we’re different. Through our SkillBridge program, we’re committed to more than just training - we’re building a supportive home where you’re part of the team for the long run, with real opportunities to grow and stay.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
