Frequent military moves create employment challenges for spouses. The Career Focus Program at Offutt's Family Support Center (FSC) assists military family members before and after the move.
Prior to the Move

On base opportunities include MWR jobs with the NAF Personnel Office, the Air Force Personnel Center, and the Base Exchange.
Research local businesses and industry via the Internet or contacting the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.
Sign up with national Staffing Agencies who can place you into permanent, part time, or temporary jobs in the Omaha metro. Make sure the company that hires you pays the Staffing Agency.
