Empower Employ

Empower Employ is on a mission to help Veterans, transitioning military members and Military Spouses find equitable employment. 

Our founder, Lindsay Helm, is both a military Veteran and military spouse. In the 11 years since she has been out of the military, Lindsay has endured the hurdles associated with transitioning out of military service and helped countless others that have dealt with similar issues.

Despite decades of advocacy, the transition process is still difficult for potential employers and employees alike. Military Spouses continue to see  a +20% unemployment rate (currently 38% at pandemic strained levels) and a 70% underemployment rate. This has become what many have deemed a matter of national security.

Empower Employ is on a mission to eliminate the disparities in employment for military members and their spouses, and to educate employers about the military culture and what it truly means to hire and retain Veteran and military spouse talent.
