(a) In General.—The Secretary of Defense shall modernize
programs of the Department of Defense in effect as of the
date of the enactment of this Act relating to employment and
education of military spouses by prioritizing training for
military spouses in digital skills to improve their access to
technology-enabled or remote-compatible career fields.
(b) Covered Programs.—In carrying out subsection (a), the
Secretary shall focus on including training described in that
subsection in programs such as the Spouse Education and

Account program, and other programs for the education and
training of military spouses authorized under section 1784a
of title 10, United States Code.
(c) Covered Training.—In carrying out subsection (a), the
Secretary shall prioritize the provision of training in
artificial intelligence literacy, cybersecurity, cloud

digital project management, and other similar technology-
enabled or remote-compatible career fields, as determined
appropriate by the Secretary.
(d) Other Considerations.—In carrying out subsection (a),
the Secretary may promote relevant credentials, certificates,
and training opportunities aligned with employer demand and
portable careers, while taking into account barriers military
spouses face, including frequent relocation, uneven access to
in-person programs, and the importance of remote-accessible
training options.
(e) Briefing Required.—
(1) In general.—Not later than 180 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall brief the
congressional defense committees on the implementation of
subsection (a).
(2) Elements.—The briefing required by paragraph (1) shall
include—
(A) a description of—
(i) the measures the Secretary has taken to carry out
subsection (a);
(ii) any updates to guidance or approved training
opportunities for military spouses resulting from the
implementation of subsection (a); and
(iii) any barriers to such implementation; and
(B) any recommendations for legislative or administrative
action to improve the access of military spouses to
technology-enabled or remote-compatible career fields.
