As a military spouse, you need a flexible way to get career training that prepares you for today's portable careers. And you need an education that fits with your family's budget. At Allied, we can help you with both – from helping you secure MyCAA funds to pay for your education costs to building a solid educational foundation for a career you can take with you wherever you go.

Even though you may move from one duty station to the next, you can build a career that provides the opportunity and challenge you're looking for.

Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA)

Did you know that with Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA), your education may be fully covered? MyCAA funds are available exclusively to military spouses to cover 100% of the cost of tuition and fees – meaning that an exciting, mobile career that helps with the family income may be closer than you think. 

About MyCAA:

• The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts Program (MyCAA) is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that provides up to $6,000 to spouses of active duty military members and spouses of activated Guard and Reserve service members (deployed for a year or more) for certification, licensure, education or training in careers in high-growth, high-demand occupations.
• Legal spouses of military service members with a minimum of one year remaining on active duty are eligible for the program. This includes spouses of active duty service members, Coast Guard deployed with the Navy, Active/Guard Reserve (AGR), and Reserve Component service members (Guard and Reserve) called to active duty for a year or more.
• To apply for the program, you must complete an online profile and call a Military OneSource Career and Education Consultant at (800) 342-9647 to create a career plan and goal. If you need any assistance with your profile or eligibility questions, please call Military OneSource.

A Message from DoD:

In the days following the announcement of a temporary pause of the Career Advancement Account – MyCAA – we have heard your feedback, suggestions and concerns. We are pleased to announce that the MyCAA program will resume operations on March 13, 2010, at 12 p.m., noon (EST) for military spouses who currently have existing MyCAA accounts. Those who have an existing account will have access to the entire Web site, including the ability to create and have financial documents approved.

We are currently developing options for the long-term management of the program and expect to be able to announce the details soon. Until then, no new accounts can be created. During this time, Military OneSource Spouse Education and Career Consultants will continue to be available to provide education and training, career exploration, assessment, employment readiness and career search assistance.
