CWTSatoTravel announces its induction into the Military Spouse Employment Partnership

“We are proud to contribute in our own way to our men and women in uniform who do so much for our country,” said Nicholas Vournakis, President, US Military & Government Markets, CWTSatoTravel. “By helping military spouses find employment at CWT, we are doing our share in fostering military readiness and retention. I am confident that CWT will be a terrific employer to military spouses, while also helping us create a more robust pipeline of candidates even in non-US locations as the US military deploys service members all over the world.”

CWTSatoTravel serves the many branches of the US military and government globally, and is uniquely suited to offer employment at specific military locations in the US and around the world, with options to work from home and flexible hours. Partnering with MSEP also allows CWT to tap into a great and underutilized resource.

There are currently around one million military spouses, 85% of whom have a four-year college degree, and half of whom are under the age of 30. The current unemployment rate among military spouses is 24% — almost seven times the national average. Given that US military men and women move around frequently, sometimes every two to three years, and are away from the support of extended families, it becomes challenging for spouses, who are the sole caretaker of their children, to stay employed or to advance their careers. By partnering with MSEP, companies like CWT are able to provide opportunities to military spouses wherever they may be.

CWT’s induction makes it one of only 42 new employers to partner with MSEP this year. MSEP now works with 400 companies, federal agencies, and organizations to find meaningful employment for military spouses.
