MyCAA is a career development and employment assistance program sponsored by the Department of Defense’s Spouse Education and Career Opportunities (SECO) program. The program provides up to $4,000 (over two years) of financial assistance to eligible military spouses who are pursuing degree programs, licenses, or credentials leading to employment in high-demand, high-growth portable career fields and occupations.
