Are there overseas employment opportunities for spouses?
Yes. Employment opportunities for spouses or family members vary by country of assignment. The State Department’s Family Liaison Office maintains a list of job opportunities at most posts and may be contacted directly once an employee is selected for a post and all clearances are secured. Employment of the spouse or family member by CDC must be approved by COGH before deployment. Spouses or family members of CDC employees detailed to international organizations, such as WHO or UNICEF, may not be eligible for employment by the embassy.
