Wells Fargo's Military Spouse Homefront Heroes Hiring (HHH)
program is now accepting interested candidates into its talent
community in preparation for launching 100 open positions in early
June 2022. The HHH program team will help prepare candidates
and hiring managers for a virtual hiring event, assisting with
resume development and interview training to help applicants
articulate transferrable skills and potential employment gaps. The
virtual hiring event will occur in August 2022, with a program
start date of Sept. 12, 2022.
The announcement comes in advance of Military Spouse
Appreciation Day on Friday, May 6.
“The 24% unemployment rate for military spouses far exceeds the
national average; this is largely a result of permanent change of
station and the inability to have a portable career," said Sean
Passmore, head of Military Talent Strategic Sourcing and Enterprise
Military & Veteran Initiatives at Wells Fargo. “There is no
one-size-fits-all solution to military spouse un- or
underemployment. The scale and complexity of HHH demonstrate our
understanding of the unique career challenges faced by military
spouses, and our commitment to helping solve the problem.”
Positions will be available in Human Resources, Consumer &
Small Business Banking, Technology, Wealth & Investment
Management, and Consumer Lending. Each line of business will host
20 roles, and new hires will begin the inaugural program on
Sept. 12, 2022.
HHH is just one of several programs Wells Fargo has implemented
to serve and employ the military community. Others include:
The Veteran Employment Transition (VET)
Program: A nationwide, competitively paid 8+ week Spring and
Fall internship for experienced talent that converts directly to a
full-time role based on performance. Interns develop an
understanding of the daily responsibilities of a full-time Wells
Fargo employee, while networking and participating in special
training opportunities.
Military Apprenticeships: A Department
of Labor structured experiential training program that results in
skills certification for applicants who do not initially meet
qualifications for the non-apprentice equivalent role.
Boots to Banking: A Wells Fargo
one-of-a-kind program designed to attract, prepare, and hire
military talent into various career opportunities through
military-specific hiring events. Pre- and post-event components
include candidate and hiring manager preparation along with
valuable resources for a successful transition.
Corporate Fellowship Program: In
partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring
Our Heroes Initiative, the program hosts military personnel within
six months of separation for a 12-week fellowship experience to
achieve full-time employment.
Applicants interested in joining the HHH talent community should

website.
