BL Publishing, a Bingo Lingo LLC company, joins a partnership with the Defense Department

 

On Oct. 18, 2023, BL Publishing will join the Defense Department Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program and Military Spouse Employment Partnership for an induction ceremony and annual event in Alexandria, Virginia. BL Publishing joins more than 70 new partners to MSEP — bringing the number of employers to more than 700.

 

Military spouses have long struggled with maintaining employment due to PCS moves and other challenges associated with military life. Unemployment among military spouses stood at 21%, according to the 2021 Survey of Active Duty Spouses. The same year, overall civilian unemployment was 5.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

 

MSEP connects military spouses with hundreds of partner employers who commit to recruiting, hiring, promoting and retaining military spouses. Since its inception in 2011, MSEP employers have hired more than 275,000 military spouses.

 

Providing opportunities to spouses for meaningful employment strengthens financial stability among military families, which promotes force retention and military readiness which are essential to national security.

Strong in our commitment to supporting military spouses and service members.

Grateful for their service and sacrifice.

 

We have a variety of positions, including portable opportunities, and look forward to supporting the military community.

 

For those interested in viewing BL Publishing’s induction into the partnership, the DOD will livestream the Welcome Remarks and Induction Ceremony on the Military OneSource and Spouse Education and Career Opportunities Facebook pages, and the Military OneSource YouTube channel at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
