Both readers who are entering the job market for the first time and those returning after a career change may benefit from Minnesota State's CAREERwise platform. This resource provides a collection of "online tools for Minnesotans in the areas of career planning and education." Under the Explore Careers tab, users will find useful resources such as the Career Cluster Interest Survey (matching interests with potential career paths) and the Start Exploring Careers page (highlighting more than 800 career opportunities). Prospective students may want to begin with the Plan Your Education tab. Though geared toward students at Minnesota State colleges, some of the tools are universal. For example, the Prepare for College section (under Plan For Success) features tips for adult students returning to the classroom after life experience. Under the Find a Job tab, readers may want to check out the various guides to creating resumes, writing cover letters, and interviewing. The site even features a specific section on "COVID-19 Job Search Resources," with a list of virtual job fairs and current openings. CAREERwise is supported by Minnesota State's Workforce Development Department.
