Blue Star Careers is proud to kick off another year of intentional programming for bilingual military spouses, with a renewed focus on continuous career development, networking, and support for 2025 career goals.
This summer, we continue to facilitate career connections via a cohort of career-driven bilingual military spouses who will grow professionally and connect with like-minded peers. Whether you’re job hunting, exploring new opportunities, or simply looking to build your network, we’ve got you covered. Join us.
Bilingual Talent Summer offers:
- Monthly career workshops and employer introductions,
- Personal development and job readiness support,
- Networking sessions with bilingual professionals and allies
- A supportive community in the Neighborhood, with year-round access to career tools
Our programming is rooted in data from Blue Star Families’ Annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey, which identifies the unique employment challenges faced by diverse military spouse communities.
- 21% of military spouse respondents of color are unemployed but need or want paid employment and have actively sought work within the past four weeks.
- The majority (62%) of active-duty family respondents report their current financial situation as “doing okay” or “living comfortably.” This is less than the proportion of the U.S. population (72%).1 This disparity is even greater for active-duty family respondents of color (58%).
- 83% of military spouse respondents of color reported that two incomes were vital, compared to 75% of white, non-Hispanic respondents.
We’re here to drive change, join us;
