Military Family Employment & Assistance

Military members and their families alike are serving our country and they deserve to be served and supported; therefore, the State of Florida has made serving them a priority.

The Military Family Employment Liaison works with Hurlburt and Eglin's Airmen and Family Readiness Centers to ensure military family members are made aware of all employment opportunities, either temporary or permanent. The Liaison also works closely with employers to assist in job placement.

Our Mission

To ensure that every family member has the opportunity and skills necessary to engage in meaningful employment throughout Okaloosa and Walton Counties and that every business has access to educated, trained, and prepared employees that meet their needs.

Please contact Stephanie Jacobs, Military Family Employment Liaison, at 833-7587 x249 or sjacobs@jobsplus02.com to set up an appointment to discuss any questions you may have.
