Military Spouse Job Assistance & Education Resources

by MilitaryBenefits

Military spouses are the foundation of the nation’s military support system. Fortunately, the military provides education and job assistance resources, training and opportunities to our nation’s resilient military spouses who sacrifice so much to support their service members.

Spouse Education Benefits

Military Spouse Job Assistance and Education Resources­­­­Military service members are eligible to designate some of their Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to a spouse or military dependent. The Post 9/11 GI Bill® education program provides a monthly housing stipend for military service members, veterans, and spouses while pursuing a university or other college degree program.

Major universities and local colleges nationwide offer additional scholarship awards for military spouses and dependents to apply for. Family support service centers at U.S. military installations offer grant-funded scholarships and intern programs for military spouses as well.

Military Spouse Employment Assistance

The Army, Air Force, Coast Guard and Marine Corps provide some form of job training assistance for our military spouses. Federal government agency employers established military employment preference codes, transition assistance employment training, internship programs, or paid civil-service positions for military family members.

Spouse Employment Job Training Services Include:

  • Resume writing
  • Resume marketing skills
  • Interview techniques
  • Job networking
  • Online job assistance services
  • Skills assessment evaluation
  • How to market transferable skills
  • Transition assistance

Foreign spouses of U.S. military service members may receive additional job training aid. Military service members or spouses who speak a second language may classify the proficiency as a transferable skill.

Volunteer Employment Programs

A number of military spouses sacrifice their time volunteering for the military community. As a volunteer, military spouses are representing and supporting military operational efforts to strengthen morale.

Military volunteer funded programs require volunteers to retain a list of the duties, responsibilities, and skills obtained throughout a specified volunteer term. Spouses are encouraged to keep track of all volunteer program hours and list all volunteer obligations as employment experience.

Military Spouse Employment Resources

Online military employment resources are accessible. Research information about current military job fairs, free employment workshops, and free training certification programs offered to military service members. Some military employment sites require additional information to verify dependent status.
