Spouse Employment Program (SEP)
Welcome!
We would like to introduce you to the Spouse Employment Program, as well as

Air Force surveys indicate the disruption of family member's careers due to PCS, deployment and general
military life causes stress to Air Force families. In response to this, the Airman & Family Readiness Center
offers the Spouse Employment Program (SEP) to assists spouses and family members with career planning,
improving job search skills, and identifying vocational interests. Individual career assessment, skills
development and decision-making are key elements of this program. Program managers work closely with local
employers and community organizations to assist with referral, skills training and labor market analysis.
Classes, workshops, employment resource rooms with computers and one-on-one assistance are available.
