The VA for Vets Virtual Collaboration
Workspace provides a Web-based virtual environment that is available 24 hours a
day/7 days a week for Veterans and Military Service Members to engage directly
with Regional Veteran Employment Coordinators (RVECs), Veteran Representatives
(Vet Reps), and Coaches. The VA for Vets Virtual Collaboration
Workspace includes My Virtual Collaboration Room and the Virtual Training and
Resource Center. Learn more about how each
tool can support your needs below.
My Virtual Collaboration
Room
My Virtual
Collaboration Room offers a personal, online work space for VA for Vets account holders to use for
private meetings and collaboration with coaches, supervisors, coworkers, RVECs,
or HR professionals:
· Military
Service Members and transitioning Service Members may meet with deployment and deployment lifecycle coaches, supervisors, coworkers,
HR professionals and other VA personnel to receive assistance related to
the deployment lifecycle.
· Veteran
job seekers may meet with professional career
coaches and RVECs to receive support building a resume, searching and
applying for jobs, or preparing for interviews.
· VA
employees may invite other VA employees
to their private meeting rooms to conduct virtual meetings.
· All
users may invite other VA employees, HR professionals, RVECs, and colleagues to
their private meeting room.
My Virtual
Collaboration Room provides all the benefits of an in-person meeting, yet it
allows users to be anywhere in the world, sharing one online space. In their
private rooms, users can display and edit documents together, communicate using
(voice or text chat), browse websites, and use the whiteboard to create to-do
lists or map strategies with their coach. Users’ displayed items are saved from
session to session until removed by the user.
The personal
meeting space is automatically created when a user registers for a VA for Vets account and accesses the
Virtual Collaboration Workspace for the first time. The personal meeting space is tied to the VA for Vets account and is only
accessible to the user and the participants a user invites.
Virtual Training and
Resource Center
The Virtual
Training and Resource Center provides opportunities for users to engage with Veteran
employment professionals and other VA for
Vets users. In the Virtual Training and Resource Center, users can do the
following tasks:
· Chat with a Vet Rep, who can provide a VA for Vets program overview and demonstrate
Virtual Training and Resource Center and Career Center features. The Vet Rep can
also provide a needs-assessment, conduct a pre-coaching session orientation,
and schedule a coaching session. Vet Reps are available 24/7 in the Virtual
Training and Resource Center.
· Meet with an RVEC to learn more about the VA hiring
process and receive guidance about finding non-competitive jobs, completing
federal job applications, and preparing for interviews.
· Attend live or on-demand training
webinars. VA for Vets will provide live,
interactive virtual training. Check back soon for additional training
resources.
· Download helpful materials related to the deployment lifecycle,
job search and federal application process.
