Military SpouseWorks Program – Fully Funded Career Training
TMS Academy is a SpouseWorks -approved institution, offering 100% tuition-covered training for eligible Military Spouses.

Building Portable Careers for Military Spouses
Military spouses bring leadership, resilience, adaptability, and valuable professional experience to the workforce. However, military relocations, family responsibilities, licensing requirements, and changing duty assignments can make it difficult to establish and maintain a long-term career.
The TMS Academy MSEP Foundation Program helps military spouses explore training, industry certifications, career development resources, and portable employment opportunities in technology and other growing career fields.
Our program is designed to support the goals of the Military Spouse Employer Partnership, which connects military spouses with employers committed to recruiting, hiring, promoting, and retaining military spouses. Build your skills. Earn recognized credentials. Connect with career opportunities.
