Assessments can also play a critical role in helping workers get connected with relevant, in-demand jobs and skills. Each year millions of workers engage with career services through the Workforce System. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 Crisis, the Workforce System has been inundated with demand for people looking for career services and support.

In a story on Medium, JFFLabs featured PAIRIN’s My Journey platform matches individuals to optimal careers, professional development, and jobs with their behavioral science-based SaaS (software-as-a-service) products. PAIRIN’s My Journey platform uses their behavioral assessment and a needs and desires survey to personalize career, education, and development recommendations for each individual based on their unique abilities, situation, and life stage. My Journey also facilitates direct connections to resources, tools, and support services available through state agencies for seamless navigation and task management.

PAIRIN works with the Workforce System to reach and engage jobseekers by providing them with tools and technologies that are more intuitive, useful and effective. At Horizons, JFF’s flagship event, PAIRIN partner Activate Workforce Solution was featured in a video about how the workforce agency is working with PAIRIN to improve outcomes for their clients.

Michael Simpson, CEO of PAIRIN, and Helen Hayes, Founder and CEO of Activate Workforce Solutions joined Stephen Yadzinski, acting general manager of JFFLabs, in a conversation about how PAIRIN is being used to increase retention and provide career pathways for workers.
