Military Spouse Career Program Launches in Michigan

October 30, 2020

A new partnership between the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Flagstar Bank and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is set to create career opportunities for military spouses in Michigan.

Approximately 25 percent of military spouses are unemployed due to the pandemic, in addition to 30 to 50 percent underemployment, DVIDs reports.

“We have been going through tremendous changes with the pandemic, and this has opened up the geography for Flagstar and our ability to provide remote working opportunities,” said Kimberly Foley, Flagstar Bank Recruiting Director.

Members of the Flagstar Bank’s leadership team, along with representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and TACOM, held a virtual meet and greet on Oct. 26.
