ST. PAUL, Minn.--()--CareerOneStop is pleased to announce the launch of GetMyFuture.org, a mobile-friendly web portal connecting young adults to career, education, and job search resources.

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, the site serves young people providing special resources for those experiencing barriers to success such as involvement in foster care, addiction, homelessness, teen parenting, or a lack of financial, family, or community resources.

GetMyFuture.org was developed with input from young adults and youth program providers in order to ensure it offers culturally relevant and effective tools and resources. Several unique resources were developed for the website, including:

  • Interest Assessment – an easy-to-use 30-question assessment that matches users’ interests to potential careers. Powered by O*NET’s Mini Interest Profiler, GetMyFuture’s Interest Assessment provides a quick way for youth to explore their interests and link to fully-developed occupation profiles using their phone, computer, or other device.
  • Occupation Profile – a revised graphical display of key occupation data including career descriptions, tasks, skills, wages, employment projections, education requirements and related training information such as certifications, and other occupational information.
  • Videos - First-person success-story videos of young adults who have overcome barriers to achieve education or career success.
  • Search tools to find local:
    • Job postings
    • Training and education options
    • Scholarships
    • Benefits assistance and relevant social service programs
    • Apprenticeship opportunities
    • Local businesses and employers
    • American Job Centers
  • Tips, worksheets, and other information designed specifically to help youth overcome barriers, explore careers, access education or training options, and find, apply for and keep employment.
