Wesco Joins Military Spouse Employment Partnership: Reinforcing Commitment to Military Families
Wesco International (NYSE: WCC) officially joined the U.S. Department of Defense’s Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) on January 29, 2025, in a formal induction ceremony. This partnership marks a significant step in Wesco’s ongoing commitment to supporting military families and underscores the company’s dedication to corporate social responsibility.
MSEP’s Impact on Military Spouse Career Advancement
Established in 2011, MSEP is a crucial initiative within the Department of Defense’s Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program. It connects military spouses with employers dedicated to their professional growth and offers them stable and rewarding career opportunities. Since its inception, MSEP has facilitated the hiring of over 340,000 military spouses.
Wesco’s Broader Initiatives for Military Community Support
Joining MSEP complements Wesco’s existing programs aimed at supporting the military community. The company actively participates in the Department of Defense’s SkillBridge program, which provides service members with civilian work experience during their final 180 days of military service. SkillBridge serves as a bridge between military and civilian careers, offering valuable industry-specific training, apprenticeships, and internships.
Furthermore, Wesco supports its veteran employees through the Veteran’s Opportunity Liaison Team (VOLT) business resource group. VOLT is dedicated to developing programs tailored to the professional development and well-being of Wesco’s veteran employees, ensuring their success in post-military careers.
Wesco’s Contribution to Strengthening Military Families and Workforce Resilience
By becoming an MSEP partner and continuing its robust support for military veterans through initiatives like SkillBridge and VOLT, Wesco demonstrates its comprehensive commitment to the military community. These efforts honor the sacrifices of military families and contribute to building a stronger, more resilient workforce. The participation of large corporations like Wesco in MSEP is vital not only for creating new opportunities for military spouses but also for enhancing the prestige of military service and promoting public recognition of the crucial role military families play.
