In 2007, the Internet saw a rapid emergence of Virtual Team Building with many web companies hiring more Virtual Assistants (http://www.vaclassroom.com) than ever to help them manage business growth, deal with work overloads and free their time up to focus on core business responsibilities. As well, the New York Times best selling book, "The Four Hour Work Week", certainly brought to the forefront the great value and impact that Virtual Assistants can have for any business.
Over the last six months, the VAClassroom Team has spent considerable time surveying Internet Businesses to determine where the skill and training gaps currently lie for Virtual Assistants and what tasks businesses are increasingly outsourcing or would like to delegate to a Virtual Assistant. Craig Cannings noted, "Our results confirmed an emerging demand for a Virtual Assistant Training (http://www.vaclassroom.com) Center that would equip new and existing VAs with the exact skills and knowledge business are looking for in 2008 and beyond."
Cannings pointed out, "The Internet business landscape is moving at such a rapid rate and it can be a daunting task for Virtual Assistants to keep up-to-date with the evolving needs and tasks required by businesses today. The tasks they are outsourcing to VAs now will look that much different six months from now."
VAClassroom.com will be launching a Virtual Assistant Training membership site that will provide current and relevant training certifications and programs, job search strategies, class discussion forums, live coaching as well as a VA marketplace. Cannings further added, "Our primary focus is to fill the present training gap for current and aspiring Virtual Assistants and enable them to establish niche specialties, expand their scope of services and ultimately grow their income and job opportunities. The future is certainly bright for Virtual Assistants!"
VAClassroom (http://www.vaclassroom.com) is scheduled to launch their Virtual Assistant Training and Job Center in early May, 2008.
