“80% of adult workers said they do not love their job and would change if they could.”
- Phil Jarvis, VP Partnership Development, National Life/Work Centre of Canada
Futures knows that the key to a happy work life is finding a job you love. Salary and benefits are important, but what most job boards miss is the corporate culture - the "human" side of a company. Pipeline will help you learn about not only the tangible benefits that a company offers, but also the intangibles that are so essential to job satisfaction — aligning them with your preferences to create the perfect job match.
The Futures Pipeline platform can help you:

Pipeline offers cutting-edge assessments to help you understand where your true interests lie. Then, you can explore matching careers to check out salary information, common tasks, basic requirements, important facts, and even Day-In-The-Life videos to see first-hand what a typical day is like.
Find Your Perfect Job Match
Futures' powerful matching technology analyzes your individual abilities and experience against each job to ensure there is a good fit on both sides.

Assess Yourself
Pipeline offers free assessments created by some of the foremost experts in job placement and talent management. Based on the work of career guru John Holland, the primary assessment focuses on four main areas: your values, how you see yourself, the types of rewards that are important to you, and your most enjoyable tasks at work. Based on your results, it connects you with everything you need to get your dream job: recommended colleges and programs, day-in-the-life videos with employer commentary, and direct links to schools, programs, companies, and real world jobs.

Armed with this information, you can be confident you have everything you need to decide which job is right for you.
Get cultured.Pipeline helps you find not only the perfect job, but also the perfect company. Even the most promising job won't satisfy you if it's at a company whose goals and culture don't meet your needs. Pipeline lets you research the company beforehand with a complete overview of its values, mission, benefits, and even a company video.
Create Your Portfolio
After you find the job and company that are right for you, you need to convince the employer that you are right for them. Pipeline helps you market your skills and experience in your own custom Portfolio, which is a digital snapshot of your work experience and projects. Portfolios let you showcase your talent to the professional world through digital photos, videos, music, presentations, and more. You can also include your profile information, résumé, work samples, and letters of recommendation. By giving employers access to all the information they need right away, you gain a significant competitive advantage.
Your story. Your way.All the information you need to provide to employers is presented in an attractive, organized format, making it easy for them to see what you have to offer. Pipeline gives you the power to tell your story the way you want with customizable Portfolio templates that you can adjust with ease to fit your dream job. Think infinite possibilities.
Be Your Own Star.Many employers don't feel confident about a candidate until they've met them. Help them overcome that anxiety by including your own video introduction in your Portfolio. Plain text often can't convey the enthusiasm and drive you may bring to a position. With your personal video résumé, you can show employers the intangibles that set you apart from your competition.
Instant Competitive Advantage.Make it easy for employers to hire you! You can upload letters of recommendation and detailed work samples, such as project documents, presentations, and videos, and link them directly to your Portfolio, allowing employers to quickly view your masterpieces. By giving employers access to all the information they need right away, you gain a significant competitive advantage.
