Military spouses accepted into the program will be placed with host companies based on location and work experience, among other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFellowships may offer a foot in the door with an employer and a professional network. A network is key to securing employment, but due to the military lifestyle, many spouses struggle to develop professional connections,\u201d Cochran said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the host company\u2019s needs, fellowships may take place in person or remotely. At the end of the fellowship, spouses who excel in the program may be invited to join the host company as a direct hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Military Spouse Career Accelerator Pilot Is a Game Changer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Military Spouse Career Accelerator Pilot is a first of its kind for military spouses and was included in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act. DoD selected the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes to administer MSCAP for the three-year pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As deputy assistant secretary of defense for military community and family policy, Patricia Montes Barron described MSCAP as \u201ca game changer for career-ready military spouses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Military spouses have made it clear that meaningful employment is essential to their quality of life. We hope this program provides them a strong start to solid employment opportunities,\u201d she said. \u201cThe department has partnered with Hiring Our Heroes to provide robust and meaningful fellowship placement that could lead to full-time employment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Military Spouses Struggle to Find Jobs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 22% of active-duty military spouses report being unemployed even though 76% have a bachelor\u2019s degree or higher, according to Hiring Our Heroes\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/resources\/hidden-financial-costs-military-spouse-unemployment\/\">The Hidden Financial Costs of Military Spouse Unemployment<\/a>\u201d report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequent relocation is a common reason military spouses struggle to find work. \u201cThe Hidden Financial Costs\u201d survey respondents report moving an average of four times and holding an average of two full-time roles since becoming a military spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military spouses have made it clear that meaningful employment is essential to their quality of life.<\/p>\n<cite>Patricia Montes Barron<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given these challenges, it is not surprising most respondents believe their military lifestyle \u2014 one involving frequent relocations, unpredictable service member schedules, and childcare issues \u2014 is a primary career-building challenge. A majority (88%) agree or strongly agree their military lifestyle impacts their ability to find jobs at their experience and\/or education level. A similar percentage (90%) agree or strongly agree military service negatively affects their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hiring Our Heroes hosts Career Summit at JB Charleston\" class=\"wp-image-5147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/military-job-seekers-at-HOH-Career-Summit.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Potential employers and employees connect during a Hiring Our Heroes Career Summit, at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, June 15, 2022.
