Are you looking to invest in yourself and your career? Whether you’re a military spouse who’s been out of the workforce for some time or a veteran woman transitioning to a new career, we want to help you build career confidence. Our Service Scholarship provides an accessible pathway to sustainable careers in technology for women veterans and military spouses.
General Assembly (GA) and The Adecco Group US Foundation joined forces three years ago to invest in military spouses and women veterans. The Service Scholarship provides a path towards a career in technology that’s flexible enough to accommodate relocation through remote work, while also helping program participants build a keen digital skillset.
Whether you’re a military spouse who’s been out of the workforce for some time, or a veteran woman transitioning to a new career, we want to help you build career confidence and a pathway to secure a job, promotion or career! Life paths that require frequent relocation can make it hard to sustain a long-term career – a challenge that often leads to underemployment – especially for military spouses. Between the rigid demands of military service and lack of childcare, many spouses have had to forgo a professional career. We’re here to help!
