Highline Community College – in partnership with Economic Modeling Specialists, Inc. (EMSI) – announced the release of Career Coach, a free online tool that allows students and the community to explore career and educational opportunities in the region.

Through a simple keyword search, students and community members learn about the employment prospects of careers and the educational training requirements. The real-time information is customized to Highline’s geographic location, includes detailed wage estimates, employment trends and up-to-date job postings associated with more than 800 careers.

“Career Coach offers both our campus and surrounding communities a powerful tool for career and educational exploration that is easy to use and best of all free,” said Dr. Lisa Skari, Highline’s vice president for institutional advancement. “It is an especially valuable resource because of the local data and job postings it provides. Our hope is that it connects users to the jobs and educational training necessary to obtain their ideal career.”

Career Coach offers additional features to comprehensively prepare users to pursue a profession. The website includes a resume builder to assist in constructing professional-looking resumes and generating content. Career Coach also provides related job fields to assist users in discovering alternative careers that may better match their desires or have stronger growth opportunities.
