Coworking Spaces to Provide Spouses with Remote Work
DECEMBER 17, 2020 – The Army has launched a new on-post coworking space initiative that plans to provide military spouses a comfortable and professional workspace outside their homes, along with a training venue for employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
Improving military spouse career and employment opportunities through new programs and partnerships is a top priority for Army senior leaders, said Lt. Col. Keith Wilson, a Soldier for Life Program regional director.
Close to 40% of service members have considered leaving the military to support their spouse’s career, according to a 2019 survey tied to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Hiring Our Heroes program. The number increases to 48% if a spouse holds a graduate or professional degree.
