At Southern Company, we respect the military community’s service and value their contributions. We take pride in being a great place to work for military and veterans, providing apprenticeship and development opportunities within our region.  
  
When transitioning out of the Marine Corps, Corey was nervous about his next steps. He credits the DoD SkillBridge Program for preparing him for his career as an Outage Services Specialist with Southern Nuclear.

And when Jonathan began his transition from the Army to civilian life, he was surprised to discover how transferable his military skills were in finding a career. Now a UAS Pilot, Jonathan plays a crucial role in keeping our teammates safe on the job. It's teammates like him that make us proud to be a great place to work for military members and veterans.

Southern Company is committed to the successful transition of military service members. That’s why we are proud to partner with the DoD SkillBridge Program that allows for transitioning service members to work within our organization to gain invaluable experience while learning the energy industry and how the business operates.
