Are Career Advancement Accounts limited to education for high-growth, high-demand industries and occupations?
Due to their frequent moves, military spouses need access to education and training for careers that are portable and high-growth nationally. Therefore, accounts awarded under the demonstration will be targeted to nationally identified high-demand industry sectors that provide the greatest opportunity for career portability. Military spouses may use their Career Advancement Account to receive education or training in one of these fields: Information Technology (CIE has courses that will train you for a career in this area. Jobs such as network analysts, database administrators and computer technicians.) Health care (for jobs such as nurses, dental hygienists, and pharmacy technicians) Education (for jobs such as teachers and teacher’s assistants) Financial services (for jobs such as claims adjusters, credit analysts and bank tellers) Construction/skilled trades (for jobs such as carpenters and electricians) What other services are available to recipients of Career Advancement Accounts?
