I’ve never heard of Terrestris. What do you do?
At Terrestris, we leverage technology to create better mission outcomes through better human performance. We form strong client and team relationships through transparency and strive to create an environment where our team can let their excellence shine through. By finding, developing, and incorporating new ideas, we provide memorable services. Rooted in the USMC values of honor, courage, and commitment, Terrestris seeks to deliver extraordinary value to the American people by helping the Government become more efficient and effective.
So, what will the Senior Instructional Systems Designer at Terrestris do?
Big picture, the mission of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to fulfill President Lincoln’s promise “to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan” by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s Veterans. Under the VA, the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) supports this mission by providing a variety of benefits and services—including disability compensation services, insurance programs that provide financial security, and employment, business start-up, or independent living services and assistance—to Servicemembers, Veterans, and their families. Additional benefits and services to Veterans, specifically Veterans exposed to environmental hazards while fighting for our country, were expanded with the passage of “The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022”, commonly known as the PACT Act. The PACT Act provides the VBA with mechanisms to enhance the claims processing of and increase the workforce to support Veterans covered under this Act.
Specifically, you will support the VA by providing technical guidance including VA initiatives and in the Federal Government arena.
