There’s no question that job searches have become increasingly virtual. Email, digital job boards and even video interviews are quickly replacing physical resumes, classified ads and traditional interviews. Virtual job fairs are the latest development in this trend, and they’ve seen another bump in popularity due to travel restrictions and physical distancing.
VA’s education benefits programs, particularly the Forever GI Bill, support Veterans and their families by providing them the benefits and resources for education goals. The new three-part series serves as a road map to support the journey from education to employment. This series helps eligible service members, Veterans and their families. The series helps people navigate education pathways, finding the right benefits program for them.

Want to Make a Difference This Year?
Try a Birthday Fundraiser
Make YOUR day a power-packed day. Create a birthday fundraiser on Facebook as a popular way to give back to a cause you're passionate about on your special day. Creating a Facebook birthday fundraiser is an opportunity to bring people together for the purpose of reaching a common goal. What better way to unite people than with a birthday or other special date?
It works by choosing an organization, such as the US Army Women's Foundation, then asking friends and family members to forgo birthday gifts and donate to your chosen cause instead. 

The US Army Women's Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1969, whose mission is to honor, empower, and connect women who are serving or have served in the US Army. Some of the US Army Women's Programs include professional development forums, Hall of Fame recognition, scholarships, speaker's bureau, and support to the US Army Women's Museum. 

Consider making a monetary contribution to the Foundation in honor or memory of someone, and we will send an acknowledgement of your gift to that person or their family. Or, consider making a monetary contribution to the Foundation for our Scholarship Program.
