Based on the most recent data from MyMatchWork.com, about 60% of people looking for work are within the first ten years of their careers:

​
This won't come as a surprise as people are most likely still in the exploration phase of their career lives.
But beyond anecdotes, why are they looking for work?
It turns out that job fit and pay are the leading factors:


The top 3 drivers are:
1. The need to earn more.
2. The need to have a job related to their education and/or skills.
3. The need to have a job which fits their lifestyle: While this may initially sound superfluous, it includes aspects like time with family & friends, time for activities outside of work, travel, etc

Needing a job because of a move to new city or town comes in at #10.

While these are important from a population level, what truly matters is what counts for each person as an individual. Which is often not easy to determine at scale for each individual withing a large group.

And just as important, what are the challenges they face in finding and keeping work which matters to them?

Work experience of job seekers

Job seekers face many challenges in finding and keeping work which matters to them.
Now, we have data to show what matters to marginalized job seekers based on data from nonprofit organizations who use MyMatchWork with their job seeking clients:

The number one factor which determines what makes a great job versus not is the workplace culture of the organization they are employed by.

Pay and benefits comes in at number 3 with commute time coming in at number 13.
Flexible work comes in at number 8.
This data and insight may be of interest to employers in your network and, better help your teams to determine which organizations they can focus on for meaningful work opportunities for job seekers.

The University of Alberta is sharing years of study findings with Caregivers Alberta and MyMatchWork, an Edmonton tech startup, to help carers find meaningful work.
Together they’re creating a new module geared to the needs of working carers for MyMatchWork, whose cloud-based software platform already includes technology to identify work opportunities and connect other marginalized groups experiencing barriers to work

The research collaboration with academic institutions like the U of A and groups like Caregivers Alberta offers a dynamic mix of partners that boosts capacity in the non-profit sector and the MyMatchWork.com platform.

The project is supported by funding from AGE-WELL NCE, as well as expertise from MyMatchWork.com, Caregivers Alberta, Alberta Seniors and Housing, Carers Canada and The Vanier Institute of the Family.

Employment Case Study: Enhancing the employability of older workers & caregivers

Watch - https://mymatchwork.com/blog/panel-discussion-enhancing-the-employability-of-older-workers/

Growing the economy post-pandemic requires us to tap into the resourcefulness and experience of all workers, regardless of age. Yet many older workers face stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination because of their age. 
Our panelists will discuss how to help people who experience challenges to work: by redressing misconceptions, by co-developing technology solutions, and by advocating for better workplace and public policies.

Webinar: "SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!" JUGGLING CARE WORK AND PAID WORK IN MID-LIFE

Attend - https://vanierinstitute.ca/event-balancing-work-and-care-strategies-for-meaningful-employment/


April 5 is National Caregiver Day, when we recognize the nearly 8 million Canadians who care for family and friends who have chronic health conditions, disabilities, or functional limitations. Combining care work and paid work is the norm for many employed Canadians, with caregivers making up 30% to 35% of the paid workforce.
Join a catalytic conversation with our panelists to discuss the challenges of balancing paid work and unpaid caregiving responsibilities, the marketable “soft” skills that caregivers acquire as part of their care journey, and how employers can benefit from and better support caregivers in the workplace.
The webinar will cover:
Challenges of balancing paid work and unpaid care responsibilities. What’s working and what’s not?
Ways to support caregivers in the workplace: technology, policies, and practices.
Panellists
Wendy Moyle, employed caregiver and owner of Wendy’s Errands for Elders
Janet Fast, Professor, Department of Human Ecology, University of Alberta and AGE-WELL researcher
Kenya Kondo, Co-founder, MyMatchWork.com
Frank Monteleone, Chief People Officer & President, Rexall Care Network

Jacquie Eales, Research Manager, Research on Aging, Policies, and Practice (RAPP), University of Alberta

April 5 is National Caregiver Day, when we recognize the nearly 8 million Canadians who care for family and friends who have chronic health conditions, disabilities, or functional limitations. Combining care work and paid work is the norm for many employed Canadians, with caregivers making up 30% to 35% of the paid workforce.

Join a catalytic conversation with our panelists to discuss the challenges of balancing paid work and unpaid caregiving responsibilities, the marketable “soft” skills that caregivers acquire as part of their care journey, and how employers can benefit from and better support caregivers in the workplace.

Missed work, quit or fired: One study of adults caring for frail adults found one in 20 people who identify as caregivers for their loved ones quit or were fired from their jobs each year.
Jacquie Eales is part of a University of Alberta research team that analyzed the Statistics Canada's 2018 General Social Survey on Caregiving and Care Receiving. 
They're also working with an Edmonton-based technology company, MyMatchWork.com, to try to connect family caregivers to more flexible jobs when they run stuck. 
As for employers, Fast's research found 10 per cent of all absenteeism and staff turnover is due to caregiving responsibilities of adults for other adults.
"Employers are not really aware of this as being a workplace issue, which is kind of astounding," she said.

We have released a new update to MyMatchWork's job matching algorithm.
Job seekers will see slight improvements to their job matches based on their individual Work Profiles.

You should see the update right away on your dashboard.

How MyMatchWork's job matching works
1. Job seekers complete their free Work Profile. 
This shows them 3 things:
i. Gut: What drives them to work in the first place. This could be financial needs, e.g. pay bills but also considers other factors. For example, the need to have people to connect with outside of the house. The Gut takes into account that life circumstances can be fluid. At one point in life, financial needs may be the primary driver. In another stage of life, the social aspects of work may be more important.
ii. Head (Skills): What unique value they can offer an employer. 
iii. Heart: What their ideal work environment is. These tend to stay relatively the same throughout one's work life.


2. MyMatchWork's platform takes their Work Profile and scans currently open job opportunities in their region. Our platform then determines which jobs may be a good fit, based on their individual Work Profile. Each job has a relative score of how likely it is to be a fit for each person:


Notes:
1. Unlike a job board, MyMatchWork only focuses on currently available jobs most likely to meet the needs of that individual.
2. The jobs matches change daily, based on which jobs have been posted. Jobs filled or which rank lower than previous matches will drop down the list or be removed.
