US Navy veteran Jomaica De Villa’s path to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was a long and adventurous road that led to her eventual DoD-SkillBridge success story. She knew she had to start somewhere, and she decided to enlist in the Navy, following advice from her father. De Villa served honorably as an Aviation Electrician with Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 195, the “Dambusters” assigned to the USS Ronald Reagan in the Western Pacific. Four years later, De Villa was back in Southern California to continue her military career in San Diego. While she was in San Diego, her command needed a legal clerk and she volunteered to fill the position to expand her skills and training. Less than a year before the end of her military contract, De Villa was browsing LinkedIn and saw a post shared by a local veterans group about CBP SkillBridge opportunities in San Diego. The post was authored by Jeffrey Jack, CBP National Veterans Employment Program Manager (VEPM) also a Navy veteran. The two connected and discussed the details of the program, which affords transitioning, eligible, and qualified service members the ability to participate in strictly non-law enforcement internships nationally during their last 180, 120, and/or 90 days of active-duty service. In chatting with Jack, De Villa discovered that she met the program’s requirements and soon found herself beginning her six-month SkillBridge internship in San Diego with CBP’s Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures (FP&F) Division at the Port of Otay Mesa. The DoD SkillBridge internship allowed De Villa to showcase her talents and grow professionally with the support of her CBP supervisors and colleagues, whom she credits for her success. She is also grateful to her Navy supervisors who signed off on her participation in the program, and to Jack for his strong support and advocacy in promoting her placement in this SkillBridge opportunity. Within two weeks of completing the six-month internship, De Villa received a tentative job offer to stay with FP&F as a Paralegal Specialist. Now in a full-time position with CBP, “I want to be the best paralegal I can be,” she said. “I am grateful for the opportunity.” Transitioning from active duty can be scary, but De Villa said Jack made the leap possible. “Jeffrey Jack, a Navy veteran himself, is such a great advocate for us veterans,” said De Villa. Her advice to other transitioning service members is to get in contact with Jack and leverage his connections to find their next mission. “Because of him, I was able to expand my network, talk to the right person, and gain skills and experiences,” she said. Transitioning service members can contact Jeffrey Jack, CBP’s VEPM, at [email protected] to discuss how to participate in the DoD SkillBridge internship program within CBP and also learn more about CBP’s other veterans recruitment programs by joining the ?CBP Talent Network here:?https://lnkd.in/g__esrNu.
