GREENBELT, Md., May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At a signing ceremony held last week at the Pentagon, The Bozzuto Group was officially inducted into the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), a targeted recruitment and employment solution that connects America's employers directly to military spouses to create meaningful, long-term employment opportunities.

The Bozzuto Group, a Greenbelt, MD-based real estate services company, was founded in 1988 by three partners, of which two are veterans – Chairman and CEO Tom Bozzuto and Vice Chairman John Slidell.

The MSEP provides job-seeking military spouses with a digital recruiting platform, offering direct access to vetted companies such as The Bozzuto Group.  The partnership consists of Fortune 500 "PLUS" companies, which include small and large businesses, government agencies, and organizations across America. The MSEP, working with Hiring Our Heroes and the Joining Forces initiatives, is rapidly expanding the number of dedicated employers in its effort to help military families deal with unique challenges including frequent relocations and long separations.

"As a veteran-owned company, we realize the importance of playing our part to employ the families who have served our country, and consider it an honor to do so," said Kristin Reese, director of talent acquisition, The Bozzuto Group.  "Supporting the military by joining the MSEP is yet another way we can support and thank service members and their spouses."
