Who We Are
Corporate America Supports You (CASY) and the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN) were chartered in 2004 as private sector non-profit organizations that provide no-cost employment readiness, vocational training, and one-on-one job placement services for National Guard, Reserves, transitioning service members, veterans, military spouses, homeless female veterans, war wounded and caregivers of war wounded. CASY-MSCCN operates as an employment partner to all branches of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Coast Guard, through Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). In addition, without funding and through its partnership with Kenexa and DirectEmployers Association, CASY-MSCCN created and maintains the National Guard Employment program, which provides training and job placement to returning National Guard personnel and their families. Each of these high-touch programs is supported by solid partnerships with major corporations, mid-size companies and small businesses that provide employment opportunities for our military-affiliated job seekers. Our state-of-the-art technology, built by Kenexa, provides real-time, verifiable tracking numbers and outcome reports to our employment partners, military services, and donors. Through our employment readiness training and job placements services, along with our Military to Civilian Jobs Network Alliance Campaign, CASY-MSCCN works one-on-one with our employment partners and funding supporters to reduce the rate of unemployment to veterans, National Guard, reservists, and their spouses by preparing them for their job search (translating skills, preparing resumes, interview skills, etc.) while working directly with our corporate recruiters to match these military service members and veterans to jobs that complement and fully utilize their qualifications, experience, and education. Individual programs are also in place to serve homeless female veterans and caregivers to the war-wounded – the extremely underserved military-affiliated applicants who have exceptional difficulty finding employment.Over the past three years, we have served over 8,000 applicants and provided outreach to more than 50,000. CASY-MSCCN is committed to breaking barriers in employment for those within the military and veteran communities; increasing training, assistance, and employment opportunities for all military-affiliated job seekers; and ensuring our corporate partners fully understand and appreciate the service members’ qualifications and how they perfectly match the skills these organizations need. By pursuing these objectives we will greatly improve the employment hiring numbers for those who have served and the families who support them.

About DirectEmployers - MSCCN Board Member On August 16, 2010, The Military Spouse Corporate Career announced its partnership with DirectEmployers Association, Inc. and their membership in the National Labor Exchange (NLX). The partnership enabled the MSCCN to provide Web access to an additional 500,000 fresh job opportunities per month to military-affiliated jobseekers – military spouses, transitioning military, veterans, war wounded, and caregivers of war wounded – from every branch of service, including the Guard and Reserve. Military-affiliated applicants upload their resumes and apply to positions with corporate partners on MSCCN’s secure talent management gateway, powered by Kenexa Corporation, while receiving personalized employment assistance from MSCCN’s team. Recruiters from partner companies access the MSCCN gateway to find candidates with the skills and qualifications they are seeking. The MSCCN team tracks applicants through the process and provides them support and assistance with finding employment. “Because of our teaming with DirectEmployers Association, Inc. and Kenexa the MSCCN will build the largest job bank for military spouses – globally,” says Deb Kloeppel, Navy (retired) spouse, and President and CEO of The Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN). The partnership with Direct Employers Association, Inc. allows us to focus on what we do best -- provide job-search, employment referral services and job match assistance to military spouses and other members of the military community. As we connect with military applicants and global military family centers, DirectEmployers Association, Inc. will connect with their elite 549 Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 corporations to yield 500,000 vetted jobs monthly to our MSCCN Talent Management Gateway. Talk about win/win! Remember, we do not serve civilian applicants nor do we accept civilian resumes. When recruiters provide jobs and come to the MSCCN Gateway, they know MSCCN applicants are military spouses and military-affiliated candidates ONLY. Our military-affiliated applicants never have to compete with civilians on any level with the services we render at no cost to MSCCN applicants.” DirectEmployers Association, Inc., a 501(c)(6) nonprofit managed and owned by its member companies, forms and builds partnerships to provide maximum benefit to job seekers across the nation.

And because business relies on metrics, we rely on measurable outcomes that prove we’ve helped companies become better. The personal side is all about relationships. We believe relationships are personal bonds that are as fragile as they are strong. That’s why we strive to build trust from the beginning of the relationship and then keep it.
