Evaluation of the Ministry of Defence Spouse Employment Support Trial

Abstract: This report details the outcomes of an evaluation of the employment support package offered by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to spouses of serving military personnel. The research sought to understand the impact of employment support for military spouses, which is accessed through the the MOD's Spouse Employment Support (SES) Trial. The SES Trial was launched in 2015 in response to the need for increased provision and support for spouses, to optimise their access to employment opportunities that match their skills, knowledge and experience.
