NEW FINANCING AVAILABLE through MyCAA
(click on above link to view flyer)
The Department of Defense remains strongly committed to helping military spouses find employment in high demand, high growth Portable Career fields like the Spa/Beauty industry. For those who are interested in pursuing such careers, DoD is expanding the Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program.
Why? Because the more training and education job seekers have, the more likely they will be hired into better jobs at higher salaries.
Need help developing YOUR PATHWAY TO A PORTABLE CAREER? MyCAA can help every step of the way.
What are the basic MyCAA Program Components?
Ø Training: Eligible military spouses are now able to receive up to $6,000 of MyCAA Financial Assistance (FA) that can help them pursue education, training, licenses, certificates and degrees leading to employment in Portable Career fields. The MyCAA Fact Sheet provides basic information about the MyCAA program and military spouse eligibility. This Fact Sheet also provides points of contact for who can help spouses, schools and participating organizations.
Ø Job Readiness: Military spouses at all stages of life need time to explore Portable Career fields and current job market conditions in communities of interest. Some need assistance in preparing to (re)join the work force. Others need to find high quality child and youth care they can trust. Many need assistance with relocation and balancing the demands of military family life. By calling Military OneSource (1-800-342-9647), military spouses can request career and education counseling, job search resources, relocation information packages, and a full range of military family support. You name it. Military OneSource can help! 24/7/365
Ø Employment Assistance and Job Placement: MyCAA is currently developing networks of military friendly employers ~ in public and private sectors ~ who want to place military spouses in internships for job training; hire military spouses into good paying jobs, and retain them within their organizations as spouses relocate from duty station to duty station. Military spouses with active MyCAA Accounts will receive email alerts announcing these expanded employment assistance and job placement services later this year.
