How Work for Warriors MS Supports Military Families
As the school bells ring and routines fall back into place, it’s not just students who are stepping into a season of change. For many military spouses and service members across Mississippi, back-to-school season can be the perfect time to refocus on career goals. At the same time, Work for Warriors Mississippi (WFWMS) is here to help.
Whether you're a parent looking to re-enter the workforce or a service member planning for your transition to civilian life, WFWMS offers free, personalized employment support tailored to your schedule and unique situation.
Why Now is a Great Time to Start Your Career Journey
With kids back in school and more structure in the day, many military families find late summer to be a great time to explore new career opportunities. As a result, you may have more flexibility to:
• Update your resume
• Attend job fairs and hiring events
• Enroll in training or certification programs
• Schedule meetings with one of our Employment Coordinators
This is also a prime time for employers to hire, as many organizations are planning for fourth-quarter growth or preparing for the holiday workforce surge.
