Wesco (WCC) announces partnership with DoD's MSEP

Wesco proudly announces its official partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense's Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), a program within the Department of Defense's Spouse Education and Career Opportunities initiative. The induction ceremony on Jan. 29, 2025, formally welcomed Wesco into the program.

MSEP is a pivotal initiative that connects military spouses with employers committed to their professional advancement. Since its inception in 2011, MSEP has facilitated the hiring of more than 340,000 military spouses, offering them stable and rewarding career opportunities.

Chris Wolf, Chief Human Resources Officer at Wesco, expressed her enthusiasm for the new partnership: "By joining MSEP, Wesco reinforces its commitment to the military community. We recognize the unique challenges faced by military spouses and are dedicated to providing them with meaningful career opportunities. This partnership not only supports military families, it also strengthens our workforce with talented and resilient individuals."

Wesco's involvement in MSEP is part of a broader commitment to the military community. The company also participates in the Department of Defense's SkillBridge program, which offers service members the chance to gain civilian work experience during their last 180 days of military service. This program bridges the gap between military and civilian careers, providing valuable industry-specific training, apprenticeships, and internships.

Moreover, Wesco supports its veteran employees through the Veteran's Opportunity Liaison Team (VOLT) business resource group. VOLT is dedicated to fostering programs tailored to the development and well-being of Wesco's veteran employees, ensuring their success in post-military careers.

By joining MSEP and continuing its robust support of military veterans through initiatives like SkillBridge and VOLT, Wesco exemplifies its comprehensive commitment to the military community. These efforts honor the sacrifices of military families and contribute to a stronger, more resilient workforce.
