Spousal Employment Assistance

When employees relocate for a new opportunity, they’re often bringing more than just their belongings. They’re bringing their families—and their futures. At ARC Relocation, we believe a successful move means supporting every member of the household. That’s why we offer spousal employment assistance as a core part of our relocation services.
This support helps accompanying spouses or partners find fulfilling, local employment, ensuring that the relocation of a spouse doesn’t become a barrier to success.
A Relocation Solution That Works for Everyone
Relocating an employee often means uprooting two careers, not one. If the spouse is unable to continue working after the move, it can place a financial and emotional strain on the family. In some cases, it can even cause an assignment to fail prematurely.
We’re here to prevent that. ARC’s spousal employment assistance program was built to give families the tools, guidance, and support they need to move forward together. Our team provides each spouse or partner with personal attention, helping them navigate their options, build a strategy, and feel confident during the transition.
Individualized Career Coaching
Every spouse we work with brings a unique skill set and career background to the table. That’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether the goal is to continue in a current field, return to work after a break, or explore something completely new, our process begins with listening and learning.
Services include:
- One-on-one career coaching
- Resume building and interview preparation
- Job market analysis specific to the new location
- Introductions to recruiters and hiring managers
- Support with certifications or licensing requirements
We don’t just send job listings. We help build momentum and turn potential into opportunity.
Local Insights. Global Reach.
Whether your employee is relocating across the country or across the world, our global network gives spouses a competitive edge in unfamiliar markets. From understanding industry trends to identifying top employers in the region, we equip families with the knowledge they need to move forward.
ARC works with trusted local recruiters and workforce development professionals to provide real-world insight, not just generic data.
This is especially important for international assignments, where work authorizations, professional licensing, and cultural expectations may vary significantly.
Supporting the Whole Family Equals Long-Term Success
When your employees feel supported both personally and professionally, they’re more likely to thrive in their new role—and stay there. Our program is designed to reduce relocation stress, prevent costly assignment failure, and improve long-term retention. The emotional toll of trailing spouse syndrome is real, and when it’s not addressed, it can quickly lead to dissatisfaction and instability. That’s why this service is more than just a benefit—it’s a business investment.
The benefits to your organization:
- Reduced risk of early assignment termination
- Better acceptance rates for relocation offers
- Increased family satisfaction and engagement
- A more competitive, inclusive relocation package
By offering support for the relocation of a spouse, you send a powerful message: your company values people, not just positions.
Career Transition Assistance for Every Background
Spouses we work with come from all industries and career stages. Some are active professionals in law, healthcare, education, or finance. Others are reentering the workforce after raising children or pursuing continuing education. Whatever the story, our team is prepared to meet them where they are and help them move forward.
Many face barriers when moving to a new region. A lack of professional network, different state requirements, or even a simple unfamiliarity with the local job market can slow down progress. That’s why our services are designed to bridge the gap, turning uncertainty into action.
This isn’t just about finding any job. It’s about finding the right fit.
Post-Relocation Support That Doesn’t Stop at the Door
Some relocation programs focus solely on the logistics—packing, flights, and leases. But ARC goes beyond that. Our spousal employment services continue after the move, helping families truly settle in. For many spouses, starting a new job also builds social ties and a sense of belonging in their new home.
In addition to employment support, we offer settling-in services that help families navigate local resources, community registration, healthcare systems, and everyday life in a new city or country. We also offer flexible scheduling for coaching sessions to accommodate the busy pace of relocation and childcare needs, making sure no spouse feels left behind in the transition.
This is how we turn relocation challenges into new beginnings.
