WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced the company has officially joined the U.S. Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership – an employment and career initiative connecting military spouses with more than 335 partner employers that have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

"Unisys is honored to help further the great work of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership," said Dale Dye, regional site executive director, U.S. & Canada Service Desk, Unisys, which was recognized today at the initiative's annual induction ceremony held at the United States Chamber of Commerce. "We are committed to hiring military spouses as well as veterans. We have found that they bring remarkable innovation, dedication and discipline to the workplace. We are proud to provide military spouses with employment opportunities that help them fulfill their personal aspirations and strengthen their families."

Dye oversees Unisys' client service centers in the United States and Canada.
