Quick Guide to MyCAA Approved Programs for a Portable Career

Being a military spouse means building a portable life. It’s not always easy to find a career that you can take with you wherever you go, especially when it comes to training. MyCAA makes it easier.

When you choose a MyCAA-approved program, you can get up to $4,000, in $2,000 increments per fiscal year, in funding to train for an in-demand, portable career. Many of these careers are in the healthcare field, which is always looking for qualified people.

The Demand for Healthcare

As the American population ages, the demand for qualified healthcare workers is increasing. Hospitals, doctors’ offices and other care organizations need personnel at all levels, especially in patient-facing roles like medical assisting, medical billing and patient care technician work.

These positions make up as much as 50% of the healthcare workforce. Given the need for quality patient care, leaving these roles unfilled simply isn’t an option. It puts a lot of organizations in a difficult position because, in many regions, there just aren’t enough trained professionals to go around.

The benefit of that is the need for staff means more career options for job seekers across the country. There’s job availability in almost all regions and settings, from small rural doctors’ offices to large city hospitals. The key to landing one of the many available positions is training.

That's where MedCerts comes in.
