Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) July 30, 2010
Corporate America along with main street employers have partnered with State Workforce Agencies, Military Installations, Disability Organizations, universities, colleges and community colleges in creating a true National Labor Exchange (NLX) focused on providing hundreds of thousands of jobs to job seekers and helping get America back to work.
DirectEmployers Association, a prestigious not-for-profit consortium of over 500 leading U.S. employers is integrally involved in this endeavor. The Association, which is owned and managed by its member companies, has formed and continues to grow partners to provide maximum benefit to job seekers across the nation. The newest partner in this endeavor is the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network (MSCCN). Focusing on providing support, counseling and careers to the spouses of our military as well as the transitioning veterans, the MSCCN is a terrific addition to the National Labor Exchange, states Deb Kloeppel, Navy (Retired) Spouse, President and CEO, MSCCN and Vet Connect Jobs.
We are bringing all of the important parties to the table to pool our resources and create tools, connecting the employer directly to the candidate, says Pam Webster, Assistant VP of Recruiting, Enterprise Rent-A-Car. Webster stated, This is an invaluable opportunity; to sit at the same table with all of the people who can truly get the job done, the decision makers from state government, corporations, military, universities and colleges.
