PITTSBURGH, Feb. 20,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
