Partnership extends opportunities at Frontier, a 100% U.S.-based
company that makes hiring Military Veterans and Reservists a Priority
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR) is now a member of the Military
Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). In a ceremony today at the
Pentagon, Executive Vice President for Human Resources & Administrative
Services Cecilia K. McKenney represented Frontier at the new partner
induction. More than 11 percent of Frontier employees are military
veterans and reservists, and the MSEP extends the company’s robust
commitment to military families across the country.
The MSEP is part of the Department of Defense Spouse Education and
Career Opportunities Program and connects military spouses to more than
200 partner employers. These employers are committed to helping spouses
find employment, increase their education and experience, and achieve
career and personal goals. The MSEP includes corporations, small
businesses and other organizations that post job openings on the MSEP
Career Portal, mentor other MSEP partners and communicate the value
of military spouse employees.
“Joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership is a natural
extension of our company’s commitment to hiring those who have served
our country,” said Ms. McKenney. “Our locations in 27 states,
competitive compensation and Work-at-Home programs offer military
families stability but also the flexibility mandated by frequent
relocations and tours of duty. We believe active military personnel can
better execute their missions and focus on their personal safety and
that of their troops if they know their families are secure. That is our
duty and commitment to our service men and women.”
Frontier is creating a video for Veterans Day to express its
appreciation of employee/veterans, as well as active, and reserve
members of the military and their families. Frannie Reid, a long-time
employee and military spouse, speaks
movingly of her family’s pride in her husband, an active member of
the National Guard and the Army.
As Ms. McKenney notes, “Frannie says she `holds down the fort while her
husband is away serving our country,’ and that humility is typical of
those who do the hard work of keeping home and hearth together and
`normal’ while a military spouse or partner is in service." Ms. McKenney
calls Mrs. Reid the voice of many military spouses, adding, “We hope
this video helps highlight that commitment and service and increase
employment opportunities through MSEP.”
Frontier Communications is an active participant in the 100,000
Jobs Mission, the Employer
Partnership of the Armed Forcesand Joining
Forces. Ms. McKenney noted, “Our military men and women were and are
here for us, now we are here for them and their families. Today, we are
honored to have the opportunity to take our commitment to the next level
through MSEP.”
Areas of opportunity at Frontier include information technology,
customer service and technical operations. Information about spousal
