MyCAA

The Department of Defense (DoD) Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program is a workforce development program that provides up to $4,000 of financial assistance to eligible military spouses of active-duty service members in pay grades E1-E5, W1-W2, and O1-O2. They must be pursuing a license, certification or associate’s degree in a portable career field and occupation. CTC is a proud participant in the MyCAA program and offers a number of high-quality, education programs to help prepare you for  high-growth, high-demand (in-demand), portable career fields.

For specific details about the program, to determine your eligibility and establish your MyCAA account, please visit the official MyCAA website. Your CTC representative is ready to assist you with the application and registration process. You may also request more information online.

NOTE: Please review the MyCAA FAQs provided by the DoD for more program information including those items (fees, instructional materials, etc.) not covered by MyCAA.

Please follow the steps below to utilize MyCAA at CTC:

Create a MyCAA Account
  • Visit the MyCAA Spouse Portal online.
  • Provide required Spouse Profile information. A real-time DEERS eligibility check will confirm if you meet MyCAA eligibility requirements so you can move forward and establish your MyCAA Account. Those who do not pass this check will be provided additional guidance.
  • Refer to the "How do I use DS Logon to create and access a My Career Advancement Account?" documents for assistance.
  • Military spouses may call Military OneSource to speak with a Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) counselor for assistance, (800) 342-9647.
Apply to CTC

Pay Tuition and Fees
