The Opportunity

As a nonprofit workforce coalition, SkillUp helps workers upskill, advance in their careers and find quality employment. Through SkillUp’s comprehensive platform, job seekers can tailor their search — by training or education, location, industry, salary, work style and more — and get a wealth of information about positions across the country, from advancement opportunities to job expectations. To level up the personalization of their support, the SkillUp team sought opportunities to provide career coaching to their participants — and partnered with InsideTrack to do just that.

The Impact

Through this career coaching partnership, SkillUp participants have been able to gain the tools, insights and momentum they need to advance confidently toward their career goals. Each session is designed to build knowledge — walking job seekers through a host of career-related topics along with specific ways to improve their job searching — and community as they share ideas and network through the group chat and in breakout rooms.

Since 2021, over 10,500 individuals have signed up for career coaching through SkillUp’s robust website — with each person either attending a group coaching session or receiving the resources covered in the sessions. Using the website in concert with the online sessions brought these participants to a new level of know-how and ease.
