retain military spouses in portable careers. MSEP is a targeted
recruitment and employment partnership that connects American
businesses with military spouses who possess essential 21st-century
workforce skills and attributes and are seeking portable, fulfilling
careers. The MSEP program is part of the overall Spouse Education and
Career Opportunities (SECO) program which falls under the auspices of
the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military
Community & Family Policy.
This program was developed in compliance with 10 U.S. Code 1784

sector to enhance employment opportunities for spouses of members of

forces accompanying the member to a new geographical area because of a
change of permanent duty station of the member; and
(2) shall work with the United States Chamber of Commerce and other
appropriate private-sector entities to facilitate the formation of such
partnerships.
