WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced the company has officially
joined the U.S. Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment
Partnership – an employment and career initiative connecting
military spouses with more than 335 partner employers that have
committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in
portable careers.
"Unisys is honored to help further the great work of the
Military Spouse Employment Partnership," said Dale Dye, regional site executive director, U.S.
& Canada Service Desk, Unisys, which was recognized today at
the initiative's annual induction ceremony held at the United States Chamber of Commerce. "We are
committed to hiring military spouses as well as veterans. We have
found that they bring remarkable innovation, dedication and
discipline to the workplace. We are proud to provide military
spouses with employment opportunities that help them fulfill their
personal aspirations and strengthen their families."
Dye oversees Unisys' client service centers in the United States and Canada. Unisys' newest center, in Augusta, Ga., provides IT support services to
a range of commercial and government clients, including major U.S.
Department of Defense programs. Unisys works with the Fort Gordon, Ga. Cyber Center of Excellence
and other state and local economic-development authorities to
recruit IT professionals for the client service center.
Dr. Jill Biden launched the
Military Spouse Employment Partnership on June 29, 2011 to serve spouses from all military
services. The partnership is part of the Department of Defense
broader Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program, which
seeks to reduce the 23 percent unemployment rate experienced by
military spouses and close the 25 percent wage gap currently
experienced by military wives.
