Military spouses of currently serving members of the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Space Force, to include active, reserve and National Guard components, are invited to apply to the new Military Spouse Career Accelerator Pilot (MSCAP), a competitive multi-year program that provides spouses with paid 12-week fellowships at employers across various industries and locations.
Host employers provide fellows accepted into the program with hands-on professional training and mentoring in the civilian workplace. Those who excel in the program and are a fit with their host company may be invited to join the employer as a direct hire.
This program is in its early stages. We will be adding new information and new host employers over the next few months. Applications are accepted throughout the year on a rolling basis with new opportunities available on an ongoing basis.
