Program summary

We are seeking skilled service members to join our team as Central Communications Operators or Senior Central Communications Operators.

Roles & job description

Central Communications Operators serve as the communication hub for Sentara hospitals and care sites, ensuring timely and accurate coordination of both emergency and non-emergency communications. In a fast-paced, 24/7 environment, they initiate emergency alerts, manage overhead announcements and paging systems, and connect clinical teams, leadership, and on-call providers during critical situations.

Interview prep for this program
Ask them
  • ▸ "How many of your past SkillBridge interns received full-time offers?" — a serious program knows the number.
  • ▸ "Who will my day-to-day mentor be, and what does week one look like?"
  • ▸ "The listing says 91 - 120 days — can that flex to my approved window if my command shortens it?"
  • ▸ "Is relocation expected for a full-time offer, or can I convert where I am?"
Bring to the conversation
  • ✓ Your projected start window and separation date (from your profile)
  • ✓ Your command's approval status — even "packet drafted" signals you're serious
  • ✓ Your civilian-translated resume bullets (generate them here)
  • ✓ A written training-plan ask — you'll need it for your packet anyway
