Simpsonville, SC — Talents ASCEND is proud to announce its new partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), joining a network of over 660 committed employers. This collaboration underscores Talents ASCEND’s dedication to advancing career opportunities for military spouses, a group vital to the strength and resilience of military families.
MSEP connects military spouses with partner employers who pledge to actively recruit, hire, promote, and retain military spouses. Since its establishment in 2011, MSEP has been instrumental in facilitating over 250,000 reported hires of military spouses, significantly impacting their career journeys.
Through this partnership, Talents ASCEND reaffirms its mission of removing barriers in employment and fostering a skills-based hiring approach. “Military spouses bring exceptional talents and adaptability to the workforce,” said Robyn Grable, CEO of Talents ASCEND. “Our collaboration with MSEP allows us to amplify our commitment to supporting these incredible individuals while strengthening the talent pipeline for employers nationwide.”
The DoD created the Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program to provide education and career support to military spouses globally. SECO offers comprehensive resources such as free career coaching, the My Career Advancement Account scholarship for eligible spouses, and the Military Spouse Transition Program (MySTeP). These tools empower military spouses to achieve their professional aspirations while navigating the unique challenges of military life.
