The Family Employment Readiness Program (FERP) was developed to assist military family members in overcoming the difficulties associated with finding employment, especially during relocation. The program provides information and referral services in the area of employment, education, and volunteer opportunities to give military ID card holders the competitive edge needed to secure employment.
We invite you to take advantage of the following free services offered by the FERP:
- Job Announcement Board with listings of on/off post employment vacancies.
- Computer Lab with internet access, fax & copy machines, typewriters, and telephones.
