500 company, to establish a new program for connecting military spouses with jobs.

Every Tuesday representatives from Adecco operate a satellite office at the center from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. offering a free program called Career Connections.

Career Connections works   closely with military spouses to find temporary and direct-hire career opportunities nationwide or internationally, explained Amy Lander, the branch manager with Adecco.

When a spouse finds a job,  they may receive benefits such as: 401K, direct deposit, service bonus,       medical and dental coverage, tuition reimbursement and paid holidays.

The benefits follow spouses with them when they change locations and positions.

“Adecco offers more job opportunities for spouses,” said Bob Leeds, the Family Member Employment Assistance Program manager of the career resource center here.

“The idea is to provide extra income for families and give      spouses information about opportunities available to them,” said Leeds. “We are the only base that has this program.”

 “This program helps provide a way to provide a long-term career no matter where families are stationed,” said Lander. “This program gives spouses the opportunity to get free training and tutorials and to take their career with them when they have to move.”

The program offers opportunities in anything from industry jobs to executive-level positions.

Adecco has seven offices in the San Diego area. For more information, contact the career resource center at 858-577-6491.
