MILITARY SPOUSE CAREER ADVANCEMENT INITIATIVE

New initiative offers education, training funds for military spouses.  The new Military Spouse Career Advancement Initiative will help military spouses get the education and other credentials needed to pursue careers in high-demand, high-growth occupations.   The program sets up accounts for eligible spouses in eight states to cover expenses directly related to post-secondary education and training. These include costs for tuition, fees, books, equipment, and credentialing and licensing fees required for careers in education, health care, information technology, construction trades, financial services and other "high-growth, portable" fields. The program also covers the cost of renewing existing credentials and licenses due to a military move.     
              
Beginning in January, the new program will launch at 18 military installations in eight states: California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maine, North Carolina and Washington. Spouses of active-duty service members grades E1 through E5 and O1 to O3 will be eligible to              participate. They must have a high school or general education diploma.
