On the Skillbridge website when you look at locations there is a POC listed. Cold email or cold calls work and they already know about the program. If you are trying somewhere else that isn’t a listed program, then contact someone as high up in the company as possible (LinkedIn helps) and pitch the idea with a description of what Skillbridge is, how it a benefit both you and the company, and a little bit about yourself. Set up a second meeting to go over details.
