I'm a high school junior considering future options and interested in understanding how military spouses find remote jobs. Are there specific networks or programs that assist in securing remote employment opportunities?
Certainly! There are numerous resources designed specifically to help military spouses find remote work.
One program to consider is the Department of Defense's Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). This partnership connects military spouses with hundreds of partner employers committed to helping military families. Many of these employers offer remote work options.
Another resource is Blue Star Families, a non-profit organization. They have a dedicated career employment program that supports military spouses by offering tools like a job board where you can find various remote opportunities.
Also, you can look into joining the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN). They provide employment readiness training programs and job placement solutions for military spouses and caregivers of the nation's war-wounded.
Moreover, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) provides a spouse employment page with job listings, tips, and other resources to support military families.
Finally, MySECO, which is managed by the Department of Defense, offers comprehensive education and career information, resources, tools, and assessments to help military spouses develop their career paths.
Remember, networking is key in any job search. You can leverage LinkedIn and start networking with professionals in the industry where you're looking for opportunities.
Opportunities for military spouses to work remotely are expanding, and these organizations are committed to helping you find them. Make sure to utilize their resources to your advantage.
