Adecco-Career Accelerator Program, 732-676-0261/cell phone: 540-840-9834 Adecco is delighted to assist the PEC Family Program and all family members in the reserve components. Below is some basic information outlining the program and how it works. Their time and benefits with Adecco are fully transferable should they be relocated.

- Adecco Staffing, Adecco Technical, and Ajilon offer temporary to permanent staffing, part-time/full-time, across the nation in capacities from Clerical/Office Work and Light Industrial to IT and professional positions in Legal, Accounting and Consulting. Positions and offices vary according to division and location. .

-Career Accelerator Program is designed to assist military spouses of active duty and reserves find employment. There is no fee of any sort.

-Because many National-Guard/Reserve Spouses have no military installation or Family Services near them, it appears to work out best that spouses simply contact me so I can connect them to the nearest, most applicable Adecco or Ajilon office for them. I will make the connection for the spouses and then their relationship with the individual Adecco office will begin. My contact information: erin.walerko@adeccona.com 732-676-0261

-As is standard in the Staffing Industry, spouses will be asked to go to the nearest Adecco Office to register and take any necessary employment tests in order to establish their skill sets (in some areas it may be available to do on-line).

-Many employers have caught on to the benefits of hiring military spouses, as they typically possess a strong, dedicated work ethic. Adecco is very pleased to do what they can to place spouses across the nation.
