About Empowering the Homefront
As a Coast Guard spouse, Jessica Bertsch knows firsthand the sacrifices and unique challenges military spouses face, which led to her creation of Powerhouse Planning, a company devoted to providing clients with remote team solutions through the employment of skills and talents of military spouses and other remotely located, dynamic, individuals.
We have lived and seen the amazing skills military spouses possess that are often underutilized as they support their spouses’ military careers, which require them to be flexible and adaptive. As a core part of the Powerhouse team culture and our mission to Share the Goodness, Powerhouse wants to help lift up other military spouses. With this commitment in mind, we launched the Empowering the Homefront program in October 2022. This initiative aims to uplift military spouses by building a supportive community and providing career guidance, support, and tips.
Resume Preparation Assistance
Beginning March 1, 2023 Powerhouse Planning provides FREE resume creation or makeovers, including content creation, editing, and design, for up to five military spouses per year through our Empowering the Homefront program. These services traditionally cost $200-$350.

Any military spouse of an active-duty service member from any United States military branch of service is welcome to apply. Whether you currently have a resume that needs sprucing up or you are starting from scratch, you are encouraged to submit an application.
