STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), a premier consumer financial services company with 80 years of retail heritage, is proud to announce its participation in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership.

Synchrony Financial officially joined the Military Spouse Employment Partnership on Wednesday at the annual Induction Ceremony held at the Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia. Dr. Jill Biden launched the Military Spouse Employment Partnership in 2011 to serve spouses from all military services.

The Military Spouse Employment Partnership is an employment and career partnership connecting military spouses with more than 295 partner employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

By joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, Synchrony Financial is becoming part of an even larger collective effort to support military spouse employment.

As an employer, Synchrony Financial is committed to supporting veterans. Synchrony Financial’s employee Veterans Network is made up of both veterans and patriots who support veterans and their families in local communities and work to attract veterans and facilitate their growth and retention through professional and personal development, career management, mentoring and networking.

“Supporting veterans also means supporting their spouses and families,” said Kurt Grossheim, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Synchrony Financial. “We’re honored to participate in this program to help those who have made tremendous sacrifices for our nation, and the families that have stood by their side.”
