Sortyourfuture.com is an online platform with a mission to support over 1 million young people from all backgrounds and regions of the UK to get into work they want over the next three years. Their transferable skills matching system helps young people identify skills they have and skills they might need to develop, and show them jobs they can apply for right now or online courses and training they can access to help them quickly upskill.
During the Rapid Recovery Challenge they’ll be adding new features to Sortyourfuture.com designed specifically to tackle the current issues young people are facing – in particular the challenge of getting immediate work that keeps them financially stable, whilst also looking to future career goals.
“I was extremely fortunate to discover Sort as a tool in searching for careers and opportunities, especially in recent times. With opportunities becoming increasingly scarce and the outlook on certain jobs shifting to being viewed as essential, I was forced to reconsider my career prospects and whether I wished to proceed to further education. After creating an account on Sort, you are greeted with a page in which you select your interests and skills, so a list of careers suited to you can be fetched. Sort also has a separate page for opportunities, here you are presented with qualifications and courses you can complete to strengthen your CV and increase employability. I look forward to how this will benefit me in the future, especially with the new upcoming features.”
