New Partner
GoEducate is a free and open marketplace with built-in, AI-powered career development tools that connect all learners and job seekers to career pathways, in-demand skills, and workforce opportunities. The company connects education programs, job postings including internships and apprenticeships, and student profiles to help communities address labor market inefficiencies and shortages.

"By adding GoSurvey to EvolveMe, we are committing to bridge the career cliff from K-12 into life after high school, while meeting teens where they are on an iterative journey of knowing themselves, and what opportunities are ahead in a changing world," says Eric Kmiec, CEO and Founder of GoEducate.

Existing EvolveMe Partners Investing in New Tasks 

• In 2023, Skillsline brought its digital 10-minute microlessons to EvolveMe, teaching teens the durable human skills that power success in education, employment, and life. With offerings teaching healthy ways to cope with stress, positively use self-talk, active listening strategies, and more, Skillsline's focus on interaction, engagement, and reflection helps that learning to "stick" and translate to meaningful personal growth. "Through our partnership with EvolveMe, we've delivered over 200,000 lessons through the platform and seen completion rates of over 90%. We're thrilled to have the opportunity to reach so many young people and heartened to see their recognition of the value of this learning. Durable human skills are too infrequently taught in formal education, but we know they are instrumental to future opportunity. ASA's ability and commitment to reaching youth where they are is vital and we're grateful for the continued partnership," said Courtney Reilly, Co-Founder of Skillsline.
• Get Schooled suite of resources now features a Resume Builder that is AI-powered. Youth have the opportunity to choose from seven different coaches, communicate in six different languages, and paste in a job description or job title to help tailor a customized resume. "At Get Schooled, we're simplifying the postsecondary and first jobs process by providing clear, research-based information, tools, and supports that empower youth to succeed in education and employment. We're thrilled to launch our most innovative tool to date—Resume Builder—a conversational AI tool that helps youth create their first resume in less than 15 minutes! Whether students have job experience or not, Resume Builder will help them highlight the skills that all employers look for," said John Branam, Executive Director of Get Schooled.
• With more than 1,800 careers to explore, offering over 134,000 courses and certifications, with millions of full-time jobs available, and over 500,000 entry-level jobs and internships, Tallo enables young talent to discover and explore career options, take courses, earn valuable certifications, and get a job that helps them build a better life. "Tallo's partnership with ASA's EvolveMe is built on deep user insights and innovative tools, helping young people not only explore potential careers but actively build skills, expand their networks, and secure real opportunities. By integrating Tallo's resources into ASA's dynamic platform, we're creating solutions that go beyond exposure to truly empower early talent.
