MILITARY CAREER ADVANCEMENT ACCOUNT (MyCAA) PROGRAM

Portable careers are those that are in-demand and likely to provide job opportunities in most locations where military service members are stationed. A full list of targeted industries and occupations can be found at http://www.careeronestop.org/, a comprehensive source for employment information sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Eligible spouses who are ready to explore portable career options and develop a career goal and plan should establish a MyCAA Account by visiting the MyCAA Website and clicking on Create an Account. This is an easy, self-help process. Once the spouse profile information is provided, the Department of Defense (DoD) will verify MyCAA eligibility through the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS).

TCC is approved to provide education and training through MyCAA. The MyCAA program is open to all eligible spouses of active duty, National Guard, and Reserve Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine service members in pay grades E1-E5, W1-W2, and O1-O2.
