MIAMI, FL - Monument Real Estate Services (MRES), an asset and property management company with experience in a range of multifamily markets nationwide, has joined the Defense Department’s Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program, and will participate in the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP).
As part of this partnership, Monument Real Estate Services becomes one of more than 200 new organizations joining MSEP, adding to the network of more than 850 employers dedicated to recruiting, hiring, promoting and retaining military spouses in meaningful careers.
Military spouses often face unique challenges in maintaining consistent employment due to factors related to military life including frequent relocations. Unemployment among active-duty military spouses has remained above 20% for a decade, according to the biannual Survey of Active-Duty Spouses.
Through the MSEP initiative, military spouses are connected with hundreds of partner employers who are committed to supporting their professional growth and success. Since its inception in 2011, MSEP employers have hired more than 340,000 military spouses, helping them build stable, fulfilling careers.
Providing career opportunities to military spouses not only strengthens the financial stability of military families but also enhances force retention and military readiness — essential components of national security.
“We are deeply committed to supporting military spouses and service members,” said Ginny Decker, Senior Vice President, Operations for Monument, “and we are grateful for their service and sacrifice. Providing meaningful career opportunities for military spouses is not just the right thing to do, it’s simply smart business.”
“By joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, we aim to provide lasting, fulfilling career opportunities that strengthen both military families and our company,” said Tina Canero, Director of Human Resources for Monument. “We are proud to be part of this important initiative and is excited to contribute to the empowerment and support of military spouses.”
