MiCareerCompass users start by creating a profile including resumes, then the AI technology analyzes their skills, recommends local career paths that match their strengths, and highlights any skills they may need to develop.
Users can see which jobs in the region are in high demand, how much they pay, and what it takes to get hired.
It also connects them to local education and training programs to get the necessary qualifications, such as credentials or certificates that can be completed in as little as eight weeks.
Developed by TalentFirst with grant funding from the state, MiCareerCompass partners with West Michigan Works!, FutureFit AI, and a coalition of West Michigan employers in three key areas – healthcare, administrative and operations which includes logistics, manufacturing and skilled trades.
Participants who complete training will earn priority interview status with employer partners, including Amway, Corewell Health, Herbruck’s, Meijer, and Trinity Health.
MiCareerCompass is free to use for any resident of Kent, Ottawa or Muskegon counties, 18 or older, legally authorized to work in the U. S.
