According to a Pentagon report, even at a time of record unemployment rates for our country, the military spouse community struggles against a 26% unemployment rate and a 25% wage gap compared to their civilian counterparts.
In 2018, Digital Works launched a pilot program to address the needs of military spouses and veterans. Two classes were held in the Elizabethtown/Fort Knox, Kentucky area, and Connected Nation was inundated with applications and questions from those who were interested in taking part. The program was so successful that classes for military spouses and veterans were launched in early 2020 in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

Digital Works staff soon learned that military spouses and veterans are uniquely and well-suited for the Digital Works program. The students were eager to learn and quickly leveraged their new skills and connections to find jobs, some landing more than one position.
For that reason, we are currently working with partners to serve this population and are seeking funding and support to expand and offer this to military spouses and veterans across the country.
