Catalyst Military
A Military Talent Pathway into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Your military technical experience has prepared you for what's next. Build your career at Oracle.
You've developed valuable technical skills in environments where reliability, teamwork, accountability, and mission execution matter. Catalyst Military helps you apply that experience to a technical career supporting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Designed for transitioning and recently separated service members, veterans, National Guard members, and Reservists, Catalyst Military provides a pathway into Oracle's data center operations.
We're seeking candidates with at least three years of relevant technical experience, gained through military service or a combination of military service and other relevant technical experience. Prior commercial data center experience is not required.

Your experience is the foundation. The technical skills, troubleshooting abilities, and operational discipline you've developed provide a foundation for success in Oracle's data center environment.
A structured transition into Oracle. Your first six weeks combine technical foundations, supervised hands-on on-the-job training (OJT), manager coaching, and cohort-based learning to help you build Oracle-specific knowledge.
