About
What does SkillsFirst do? SkillsFirst is operated by ThinkOptimal, a premier provider of innovative career technology solutions for organizations and individuals. SkillsFirst is the next generation of @OptimalResume, a suite of online career tools used by more than 700 career centers and 3 million job seekers since 2005. SkillsFirst is a network and mobile responsive website designed to expand regional talent partnerships, evidence-based career pathways, evidence-based career coaching, and peer-to-peer career collaboration and mentoring. SkillsFirst includes the 7-Step Career Pathway Model™, a stepwise career pathways program that guides students and adults through a process of achieving and gathering evidence of their own skills and abilities to connect them to employment. SkillsFirst includes self-guided career coaching, assessments, careers matching, career tools, content tagging, access management, and access to career collaborators and coaches from one’s own organization or partner organizations. Who is SkillsFirst built to work for? SkillsFirst helps career centers build talent partnerships to expand evidence-based career pathways and scale career preparedness with digital career tools, peer-to- peer collaboration, and curated organization galleries. SkillsFirst helps career centers demonstrate value with increased virtual engagement programming, increased 1:1 engagement, and evidence of more job placements. How does SkillsFirst drive business and social impact? Through organization partnerships and allocating program licenses and roles to talent suppliers and employers, regional “backbone” organizations, such as workforce agencies, can expand talent supply chains and implement “no wrong door“ policies to ensure community jobseekers get free career coaching and wraparound services no matter where they access services, and ultimately connect them with local employers who are seeking skilled talent.
