are these Veteran benefits highlighted anywhere else on the site? shouldn't these be more prominent since they are free resources for Veterans? they seem hard to find on this page. @mariana-almeida

These are all elsewhere on the site more prominently, in Education area. The only one that links off to another site is this one: Consider military tuition assistance (for active duty).

@bethpotts can you please see if we are linking to this on Education side?(http://myarmybenefits.us.army.mil/Home/Benefit_Library/Federal_Benefits_Page/Tuition_Assistance_(TA).html?serv=149)

@koconnor719 @mariana-almeida I'll field this one! :) We link to LinkedIn elsewhere including from the job search page where there is a piano key.

As far as Coursera is concerned, we have a piano key off the job search page. But I will re-tool the text on this page that contains the Coursera class and that will make it a bit more prominent.

And yes, @mariana-almeida we are linking to that MyArmy Benefits site because the TA program is branch specific. We debated about listing out each branch and linking to each but this seemed like a good option.

thanks. it just seems like these 2 free resources are buried at the bottom of the job seeker page in tiny font:) @gnakm

koconnor719 commented 8 years ago

@mariana-almeida that's good they are in other places on the site:) but given these are free employment resources that VA has partnered w/ for Veterans--shouldn't they be highlighted more on the job seeker page? the Interest profiler (which we heard from feedback is not helpful) is more prominent on the subway map than these 2 free benefits? do we have any Veteran research on this @maryannbrody

mollyblake commented 8 years ago

Hi @koconnor719 I've been working on this issue and am happy to work on making these resources more prominent ! Thanks

koconnor719 commented 8 years ago

i think this is a design question? @emilyville @gnakm pls advise:)
