Career Step has been approved by the Department of Defense to train military spouses under the department’s MyCAA education funding program.

Provo, UT, May 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Career Step, a leading online healthcare education company, has been approved by the Department of Defense to train military spouses under the department’s Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (MyCAA) education funding program. The cost of the Career Step training programs will be covered for military spouses who qualify for the MyCAA funds.

“The MyCAA funds serve as an excellent opportunity for military spouses to pursue rewarding new careers,” said Mike Wilstead, Career Step’s CEO. “In this economic environment many individuals are interested in retraining and education to expand their skills sets. Now, military spouses can prepare for careers in the growing medical transcription and medical coding and billing fields through Career Step programs funded entirely by the Department of Defense.”

The MyCAA funds are available worldwide to spouses of active duty, activated National Guard, and activated Military Reserve service members. Those who qualify can receive up to $6,000 of financial assistance to pay for education in high-growth, high-demand, portable career fields.

Career Step offers online career education in medical transcription and medical coding and billing, both of which are classified as high-growth sectors by the Department of Labor. The Career Step programs have been approved for MyCAA funding because of the portable nature of these fields and Career Step’s reputation for delivering quality programs and superior rates of graduate placement within the industry.

“Career Step has worked hard to make it as easy as possible for military spouses to apply for MyCAA funds,” said Career Step’s Director of Enrollments, Jerolyn Carter. “We want to help military spouses advance their careers by taking advantage of this funding opportunity, and we’ve created an easy-to-use website that walks them, step by step, through the entire MyCAA application process.”
