MyCAA Benefits Resumed for Military Spouses with Existing Accounts - Funds Available for 100% Online Portable Career Training

Online, March 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - After a temporary pause last month, the DoD's MyCAA program has resumed operations for military spouses who currently have existing MyCAA accounts, meaning that military spouses can use their benefits to get portable career training. Whether they're already an Allied student, enrolled with another school or have yet to choose an education provider, Allied Schools provides a military-friendly education that supports the career goals of military spouses nationwide.

The Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA) program was officially reinstated on March 13th, 2010 at 12 p.m. EST. Now, military spouses who have an existing MyCAA account once again have access to the entire Military OneSource website. The MyCAA program, which supports the educational pursuits of military spouses, provides up to $6,000 in financial assistance for preparation in high-growth, high-demand portable career fields.

"MyCAA provides an unprecedented opportunity for military spouses to get an education without the worry or stress of how to pay for it," said George Achenbach, president of Allied Schools. "We are very pleased at the return of this valuable program and look forward to helping military spouses get the education they deserve and provide them with opportunities that otherwise might not have been available to them."

Allied Schools has comprehensive, short-term courses that prepare students for careers in medical coding, medical transcription, pharmacy technician, real estate salesperson, small business management, and more. With 100% online career training in medical, real estate, business and emerging green technologies, military spouses receive an education that provides opportunities nationwide. In as little as 24 weeks, they can receive career-ready training that lays the foundation for an exciting career.

Military spouses benefit from Allied's online career-training programs because it allows them to attend class from any location and study according to their own schedule. The course materials are available 24/7 - they can log onto their course and complete assignments when they have time. The online education is also self-paced, allowing them to learn at an accelerated rate or keep a regular pace throughout their studies.

Allied Schools is proud to support today's military - the school helps active-duty military with their education goals and accepts 100% Military Tuition Assistance. Whether they are stateside or deployed, service members can prepare for a civilian career or receive promotion points for courses taken. Additionally, veterans can utilize their benefits at Allied and access convenient career training courses. Allied acknowledges the sacrifices military families make every day and participates in regular community Yellow Ribbon events.
