My Career Stream
Career development resources
When it comes to career development, having a growth mindset is an important part of achieving goals. A growth mindset is the belief a person has in their abilities to be developed through their dedication and hard work. There is no such thing as a barrier to people who are committed to their personal growth – only opportunities.
Virginia Tech is invested in helping our employees be their best. As part of this investment, My Career Stream is a new collection of resources to help Virginia Tech faculty and staff look at their career path with intention, and reach their career goals and learning aspirations. These resources work in tandem or even overlap with individual performance goals and other individual, leadership, and team development activities to help employees stay on track with their annual goals and with where they want to be in their career and personal development.
All Virginia Tech employees are invited to use the following resources.
Ask Otter uses a cutting-edge aggregated search capability and user input to find available opportunities and resources from PageUp LMS, the TLOS Professional Development Network (PDN), and LinkedIn Learning all at one time. The tool is available for Virginia Tech employees with access to those systems. Employees just need to sign in with their VT username and password to start building a customized training list today.
The Divisions of Information Technology (Learning Systems) and Human Resources (Talent Development) partnered to build the tool.
