With the launch, associations will now be able to offer an unmatched set of industry-specific career resources to members through a branded online experience that is connected to their YM Careers job board. These new resources include career insights, career advice, and the ability for members to visualize career progression through a unique career pathing capability.
The new Career Planning Portal is the first of its kind in the association job board industry, transforming career centers from transactional websites where employers and job seekers connect, to dynamic career destinations where professionals research, plan and develop their careers based on data, trending and forecasting insights. Career Planning Portal is launching across all the nearly 3,000 YM Careers job boards and will help associations further drive member engagement, attract new members, and increase job board traffic and revenue.

“Many associations lack the resources to provide valuable niche career planning content to their industry’s professionals, and in doing so miss a critical opportunity to recruit, engage and retain members,” said Tristan Jordan, General Manager, YM Careers. “The Career Planning Portal, integrated with YM Careers, delivers associations a turnkey way to offer this information to members and prospective members, and solidifies their role as the premier career growth resource for the professionals they serve.”
Career development and job opportunities have always been a key driver in member recruitment and engagement, and that was reflected in Community Brands most recent research on member engagement trends. Also highlighted in the study was a desire from members for more career development support from their association.
