    Needs and Uses: The DoD Spouse Education and Career Opportunities 
(SECO) Program is the primary source of education, career and 
employment counseling for all military spouses who are seeking post-
secondary education, training, licenses and credentials needed for 
portable career employment. The SECO system delivers the resources and 
tools necessary to assist spouses of service members with career 
exploration/discovery, career education and training, employment 
readiness, and career connections at any point within the spouse career 
lifecycle. It is imperative that the DoD collect data to ensure that 
the SECO program is meeting its overarching goal of increasing 
employment opportunities for military spouses. The DoD requires the 
information in the proposed collection for program planning and 
management purposes. Collected information will ensure that the SECO 
program will be able to collect relevant metrics and make 
determinations of program viability and improvement. Additionally, the 
data collected is utilized to build a spouse profile that allows 
information to be saved over time and to prepopulate information into 
tools such as resume builders and career and education planning 
resources.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
