The Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) began as a pilot program in eight States and was recently expanded for military spouses worldwide. MyCAA is designed to equip spouses for "portable" careers: jobs for which there are broad opportunities.
MyCAA provides up to $6,000 in financial assistance for education, licensing, and credentialing. Assistance is available for any occupation within several high-growth industries or for select in-demand occupations within other industries.
All spouses of active duty service members and activated reservists are eligible for the program, provided that the spouses are not members of the military themselves. To set up an account, eligible spouses should visit the MyCAA Web site.
If you have questions, call toll free, 1 (800) 342-9647 and ask for a Military OneSource career and education consultant.
