Is the MyCAA program right for you?

The MyCAA program was designed to create more opportunities for military spouses by giving access to career fields and skilled trades with high employment potential and cohesion with the military lifestyle. Relocation can be challenging for the whole family. Finding employment and education options near base that are affordable is not easy. MyCAA is a good fit if you have career goals such as accounting, teaching, or construction management that you have postponed pursuing. MyCAA is also a good opportunity if working part-time makes sense for your family. Becoming a yoga instructor or translator is the perfect fit to bring in additional income.
