How do I participate in the Military Spouse Employment Program to recruit caregivers and office staff?

The short answer: Contact AFI Operations Support Manager Heidi Maddocks at H.Maddocks@AmadaSeniorCare.com or 949-272-0138.

Here is the longer answer: Last October, Amada was inducted as into the federal Military Spouse Employment Partner (MSEP) program. This recognition as an official Department of Defense employer-partner is another tool in your marketing toolbox when you’re on your call cycle.

“Ken leverages this when people ask him what is Amada’s differentiator,” said Director of Franchise Partner Sales Matt Smith. “Ken explains that the Department of Defense – our United States Military –has chosen Amada to be one of the key employment partners for their spouses. That is a great affirmation for what we are doing in the marketplace.”

Amada passed a rigorous vetting process to become an MSEP employer-partner. The MSEP badge now shows in the footer of our newly redesigned corporate website and all the franchise microsites. AFI distributed a press release to media channels and there is a form-fillable certificate available to hang in your office and at local job centers (download from The Hub by clicking on https://amadaseniorcare.franconnect.net/fc/skyCopyUrl.jsp?UploadedOn=L&documentNo=a-lorbn-n-on-q-&user_no=q-aa-v-v-vb-vrn-).

Think of MSEP is an important recruitment resource. It offers an employment assistance program that provides up to $4,000 of financial funding to eligible military spouses who are pursuing a license, certification or associate’s degree in a portable career field or occupation (CNA, RN, LVN, etc.)>

“Our goal in 2020 is to connect with many other military service organizations that help with military spouse and veteran employment opportunities,” said Heidi.

If your market includes a military base, Heidi can put you in touch with a local MSEP contact.
