Thanks to the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, we are expanding our support to military spouses and partners to help them access training and development in the tech sector.
Removing barriers and creating opportunities for military families
Research shows that frequent relocations can affect military families’ employability and well-being. When moving with a serving partner, spouses may need to change jobs. They can face challenges like finding work that fits their skills, dealing with employer bias, and balancing work with family. These factors can cause career breaks, underemployment, and trouble finding suitable jobs.
The tech sector is an excellent fit for military families. It offers flexible, remote jobs that can move with you during postings. Digital skills are in high demand, providing stable, long-term career options. There are many roles, including coding, cybersecurity, marketing, and data analysis. There’s something for all interests and skill levels. Tech is a practical and adaptable industry for those balancing work with military life.
How tailored support can help military spouses and partners
Our Families team offers tailored support to help spouses and partners explore the right career paths. As part of this, they can access the TechVets online community, which is open to everyone in the Armed Forces community. It’s a virtual space to connect with experts and like-minded individuals, no matter your experience level.
In addition to community support, we offer practical tools to boost confidence and employability. These include mentoring, training courses, and events designed to build skills and open doors to new opportunities. We’re proud to have a vast network that connects spouses with employers who value the skills and resilience of military families.
