Skill Bridge Program
AbbVie Veterans
We support our military veterans and those who serve in the Guard and Reserves, both in and out of the office.
Continue to make a remarkable impact
Veterans bring highly valued skills to our workplace. We’re actively looking to add more veterans to our ranks.
AbbVie recognizes veterans possess essential skills that seamlessly translate to the organization, such as leadership, responsibility, teamwork, integrity, selfless service, dedication, agility and problem solving.
SkillBridge program
We participate in the Department of Defense SkillBridge training program. SkillBridge allows eligible active duty service members to gain valuable work experience by participating in a job shadow within our business.
With SkillBridge, I was able to meet my military requirements while I was working at AbbVie — simultaneously serving our country and patients around the world.
Making an impact
We support military and veteran organizations by partnering with:
Employer Support of the Guard (ESGR) program
We support the Department of Defense ESGR program which fosters a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. ESGR promotes cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers.
