GoEducate’s Regional Opportunity Portal and Marketplace is a comprehensive ecosystem and dynamic hub for regional early talent development and economic advancement. The platform bridges the gap between education and employment by connecting credential, certification and training programs directly to in-demand jobs, apprenticeships, internships and scholarships from local and regional employers needing to build and manage talent pipelines. The platform is free to use for all K-16 students and job seekers wanting to explore careers that fit their needs and interests, ensure a positive ROI on their education through GoEducate’s innovative CredentialValue tool, or to find and connect with their future employer and job opportunities.
GoEducate was built by CEO Eric Kmiec who saw first hand the struggles his own children faced when trying to navigate career and education pathways. At that time, there wasn’t a singular, open and free resource he could direct all students to, that regardless of their background, economic status and experience, provided skills-focused career profiles and digital records, and, real-time credential and employment information, linking in-demand opportunities, including apprenticeships and internships to local employers searching for talent to fill their open roles.
Now with GoEducate’s fully operational end-to-end platform, students and job seekers, educators and institutions, and, employers of any size have a platform complete with tailored dashboards that connects Learning Employment Records (LERs), Career Profiles, Education and Career Pathways, In-Demand Jobs and Opportunities, and, that provides Longitudinal Data that empowers regional workforce development efforts in a holistic, and easy to use web-based application and platform.
For these reasons and more, GoEducate Regional Opportunity Marketplace was honored as a Cool Tool (finalist) for “Best Adaptive Technology Solution” as part of The EdTech Awards from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
