YONGSAN GARRISON, South Korea (March 29, 2012) -- Frequent permanent change of station moves make finding and keeping a job a challenge for military spouses.
To expand career opportunities for military spouses, the Department of Defense launched the Military Spouse Employment Partnership in June 2011 to match Fortune 500 companies with military spouses worldwide.
Modeled after the Army Spouse Employment Partnership, or MSEP, currently has 96 partners who have hired more than 10,000 military spouses.
