Who We Are
Military Spouse Jobs, formerly known as Military Spouse Corporate Career Network, MSCCN, was chartered in 2004 as a private-sector nonprofit organization that provides no-cost career exploration, employment readiness, job placement, and ongoing career development services to military spouses, dependents of working age, and caregivers to wounded veterans. Our award-winning employment placement and support services have established us as one of the most effective and efficient military-affiliated support organizations in the United States. The entire staff is comprised of highly skilled and professional military spouses and veterans who understand military life and transition. Our team focuses on helping to eliminate career barriers that prevent military spouses from being successful in their job placement or career progression. The effort is a three-tiered approach: assess, align, and accelerate. We assess each individual that connects with us and provide the services they need to align them with the right employment or training opportunity and help them accelerate past career path obstacles into a career. Alongside our partner organization, VetJobs, we support various targeted military community initiatives. Our National Guard program through our National Guard Employment Network supports every state and territory with resources and our technology since 2009. Our Reserve program supports our P3 partnership. Each program has an extension of outreach to support various initiatives such as our NGEC Employment Council, Arm-Me-Up, Women’s Workforce Reentry Program and the Survivor, Goldstar, and Caregiver Employment Network.
Our Founder and President, Deb Kloeppel, sums it up best:
"Military-affiliated job seekers do not come to us for a job. They come to us because we uniquely understand if you want to have sustainable financial security, you have to build marketable career skills. We provide these skills free of charge and career upskilling because for us, it isn’t a one-time placement transaction, it is a long-term partnership. We take pride in our Military Spouses because We ARE military spouses.”

What We Do & How We Do It
Military Spouse Jobs has honed a very successful, proven method for ensuring our job seekers connect with the career opportunities they deserve.
Our approach has three parts: people, technology and education.
People
Our people — all of whom are highly-educated veterans and military spouses themselves — get to know our job seekers personally. They work to understand a candidate's military service, the skills they’ve acquired and how that translates to today’s job market. We then provide personal, high-touch, free job placement support, leveraging relationships with hundreds of leading national employers.

Technology
After we get to know our candidates personally, we tap into a world-class technology backbone which enables us to access over three million high-paying job openings, donated through DirectEmployers Association, plus view applicants and track hiring outcomes the same way top employers do. Further, we track our job seekers’ progress after we place them, helping to ensure they succeed. As they progress along and advance in their career - we're right there with them to help as needed.

Education

Our training team — which includes professionals who have developed curricula for prestigious American universities — works closely with each job seeker to guarantee they’re positioned to get the job they deserve.

Our Values
We believe a big part of what sets us apart is our core values, which were deepened through serving our country. Those values include:
Integrity: We don’t accept funding from any branches of the Military or the Government; our singular allegiance is to the job seekers we serve.
Respect: We have the deepest respect for those who are serving, have served, and surround those wo have served; that reverance guides every decision we make.
Commitment: We don’t think it’s enough to just help a veteran or spouse get a job. Nobody goes deeper, or stays involved longer, to help military-affiliated job seekers attain a rewarding career.
Focus: We have never strayed from our founding charter. If it doesn’t help active duty military, veterans or military spouses connect with a high-paying career, we won’t do it.
Efficiency: We are tirelessly devoted to ensuring every penny we spend advances our mission. Deloitte audits show that 85 cents on the dollar goes to that mission.
About the VetJobs Family
The VetJobs family had humble beginnings -- founded with $323, in military housing, at the outset of the Iraq War. When Deb Kloeppel, a successful entrepreneur and senior executive at American Airlines, left her position to PCS overseas, she realized there was a need to better support the career aspirations of military spouses. She saw women and men who were accomplished, highly trained and highly educated, but suddenly found themselves living someplace very far away — because of their devotion to family and country. So, in 2004, Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) was born.
MSCCN quickly grew to become the premiere job placement and career development facilitator for military spouses and family members. It was so successful that it inspired Deb and her husband, Rear Admiral Dan Kloeppel (U.S. Navy, ret.), to co-found CASY: Corporate America Supports You. Armed with a letter of need from the Army National Guard and startup money from DirectEmployers, CASY was chartered in 2010, with the mission of providing free employment readiness, vocational training and one-on-one job placement services for National Guard, Reserves, transitioning service members and veterans of all branches of service. RADM Kloeppel — after a 36-year military career, plus 36 years as a commercial airline pilot — has gained a unique perspective on how to best support service members transitioning to the civilian workplace.
From just under 500 job placements its first year, CASY quickly grew to become a powerhouse in helping military-affiliated job seekers connect to high paying, rewarding careers. By 2019, CASY and MSCCN had surpassed their 57,000th verified hired. It was at this point, with the financial help of Swift Transporation, that the opportunity emerged to acquire VetJobs.com, the best-known, online military job board. One immediate impact was the addition of thousands of new applicants, now receiving our one-on-one help. With the addition of VetJobs, CASY and MSCCN had their most successful year ever in 2019, helping nearly 9,200 active duty service members, veterans, and military spouses connect to career opportunities.
To begin 2020, the VetJobs family welcomed MilitarySpouseJobs.org — powered by MSCCN, now sitting alongside VetJobs.org, CASY.US and MSCCN.org.
MilitarySpouseJobs.org provides the same unparalleled career placement and advancement services to military spouses, caregivers, and military family members that MSCCN has delivered for years, as these onboarding gateways all lead to our same IBM technology, DirectEmployers Jobs, and our one-on-one assistance.
These strategic additions paid off and 2020 was a banner year for the organizations, we not only surpassed more than 10,000 verified job placements in a single year we also crested 65,000 lifetime job placements in all making us the largest and most effective organization in the United States.
