FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Command Financial Services, Inc. is proud to announce its participation in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership.

The Military Spouse Employment Partnership is an employment and career partnership connecting military spouses with more than 295 partner employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

First Command officially joined the Military Spouse Employment Partnership at the annual Induction Ceremony held today at the Mark Center in Alexandria, Va. Dr. Jill Biden launched the Military Spouse Employment Partnership on June 29, 2011, to serve spouses from all military services. The partnership is part of the Department of Defense broader Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program, which seeks to reduce the 25 percent unemployment rate experienced by military spouses and close the 25 percent wage gap currently experienced by military wives.

By joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, First Command is becoming part of an even larger collective effort to support military spouse employment.

“First Command has a long and successful history of hiring military spouses for meaningful careers serving our many active-duty and veteran client families,” said Scott Spiker, CEO of First Command. “This is a history we have every intention of continuing as we seek to foster and promote the trusting, face-to-face coaching relationships that are the hallmark of our organization.”
