My Programs

Overview

This page displays Programs which you are assigned to for a Program Period, a date range that the Program is made available to you for action.

Programs are generally used to offer you development opportunities.

Course Elements in a Program are not considered on Status Reports unless they are also assigned as a Requirement on your My Plan page. The "Due Date" for all Program Elements is the Program Period's End Date (see more about this below).

Program Elements

A Program is a collection of Elements, which are either courses or linkable resources. Below is a sample list of Elements for an "IT Training" Program.

The Elements you actually see for a Program may differ from one Participant Type to another.

For example, someone who is a "General User" Participant Type (below on left) may have to only complete some Elements to finish the "IT Training" Program while someone who is a "Data User" Participant Type  (below on right) may have to complete different Elements to finish the "IT Training" Program.

Views

There are two major sections on the My Programs page (see image below):

1. Student Selector (Supervisors Only)

2. Grid

This page can be added to Your Favorites () or set as your Learner start page () by clicking the icon in the top-left corner of the page.

Supervisor View

If you are set as a Supervisor of a person (Primary Supervisor), Team, Department or Work Area, you can use the My Programs page to view and manage Programs of your associated people.

Why Select a Student

As a supervisor, you can:

• view all associated Program Elements

• launch Link Elements

• schedule students into Classroom training

• complete training checklists for the student

You cannot:

• launch online training

• take pre-tests

• complete evaluations

Selecting a student is done the same way by Supervisors as it is on the "My Plan" page.

Student View

Notice that the Student Selector is hidden when you are not set as anyone's supervisor.

Grid

The grid will have the following columns:

• Tooltip

• Program Name

• Participant Type

• Enroll Date

• End Date

• Action

All columns except the Tooltip and Action columns are sortable by clicking the column header name.

Tooltip

Hover over the Advanced Tooltip icon to display additional information about the training requirement.

If the Program Period has an associated Contact, and that person has a valid Email address on their VTA student profile, you can click their name to launch an email to them.

Program Name

The name of the Program in which you are enrolled.

The Program Period name will be displayed in italics below the Program name.

Participant Type

The Participant Type you have been assigned for the Program Period.

You may be enrolled in a Program under more than one Participant Type.

Enroll Date

The date you were first enrolled in the Program.

End Date

The last date on which you may complete a Program Element.

If blank, the Program is open-ended without a set End Date. You may complete a Program Element as long as you have a "View" link in the Action column.

Action

Click the "View" link to display the Program Status page for a Program, including all Elements.

You will only see a "View" link if your Registration Status is "Registered".

If your Registration Status is changed to "Canceled", you will no longer see the Program listed on the My Programs page.

If your Registration Status is set to "Nominated", you will not see a "View" link; you will see "Nominated".

If your Registration Status is set to "Suspended", you will not see a "View" link; you will see "Suspended".
