With the Staffcentrix T3 Program™, you can learn to deliver our high-quality, proven Portable Career & Virtual Assistant Training Program™ to spouses at your base.

The mobility requirements of a modern military can place a severe burden on the career and employment prospects of the service member's spouse. The spouse's sacrifice and the resulting diminished revenues directly impact the family's economic and psychological quality of life, and raise critical issues involving recruitment, retention, and readiness. Frequent moves, remote locations, and heavy competition don't exactly create an ideal environment for traditional employment solutions.

Advances in telecommunications and the evolution of corporate outsourcing toward the "virtual" model-as the burgeoning Virtual Assistant industry demonstrates-have finally converged to create a viable and portable career choice for the transient military family: the Military Spouse Virtual Assistant, or MSVA.

We now offer two Programs which you may find of interest -- one for spouses (MSVA Program) and one for spouse employment professionals (T3 Program).

Portable Careers and Employment: A Multi-Service Survey of Active-duty Military Spouses This document contains the results of a survey conducted by Staffcentrix of its Military Spouse members during a 2-week period from February 24 – March 10, 2003. The survey was conducted via email, and asked spouses to provide the following data by means of a brief, Web-based form: Service member spouse’s branch & rank The estimated (i.e., perceived) unemployment rate at the spouse’s duty station Whether the spouse is employed/unemployed/underemployed Spouse replies to this question: “If you were joining us in a meeting with Spouse Employment Program managers, what would you say to them about "Portable Careers" and/or about spouse employment generally?” This survey is not intended to represent an in-depth examination of portable career issues, but rather a “snapshot” of current attitudes and perceptions among a cross-section of officers’ and enlisted members’ spouses internationally.
