The Military Spouse Employment Partnership’s goal is simple. They want to eliminate one of military families’ biggest problems: finding employment for the spouse of the service member. Because of frequent relocation, military spouses often face high unemployment rates and a significant wage gap in the jobs they do have. Through the initiative known as Joining Forces, 38 new organizations joined the Employment Partnership program earlier this month. Eddy Mentzer is the Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program manager. On the Federal Drive, he gave Tom Temin an update on the program and the companies involved. Spouses interested in more information about the Military Spouse Employment Partnership can call 800-342-8647 or visit the partnership page on Military OneSource.
