Job Futures

A Job Future defines and quantifies (Skill Points) skill requirements for a job six months to two years in the future. The duration is subject to change based on employer preferences and usage of Job Futures; for example, the duration could be from two months to five years. A Job Future currently consists of three parts: a Job Label defining the job requirements and dates; a Job Timeline managing a matrix of dates before, during and after the Job Future; and a tacit agreement.

The Job Label is meant to accurately portray skill requirements both in experience and first year application, compensation, and other descriptive fields.

The Job Timeline is meant to reflect the changing demands of the job, chance the job will be available after the future (threshold), and relationship thread between an employer and post-secondary students and educators.

The tacit agreement is a ‘loose contract’ that an employer attempts to be accurate with the job requirements and the likelihood the job exists after the Job Future (the threshold). Once an employer believes the threshold is below 20 percent or otherwise untenable, the Job Future is abandoned.

All parties should benefit from the proper use of Job Futures but are also investing in them. Post secondary students might choose certain projects, internships, co-ops, or certifications to improve their candidacy for the Job Future, so they should at a minimum be as accurate as possible.

While providing considerable latitude, at any stage, we reserve the right to permanently remove the Job Future if:

1. the Job Label is clearly inaccurate or contains any profanity or inappropriate information.
2. the Job Future is untenable, or the threshold is not appropriated properly.
3. the Employer is no longer able to meet the obligation.

Job Futures Accuracy

There are many ways we promote Job Label and Job Timeline accuracy.

With the Job Labels, we provide Job Label Templates and suggest employers use them as a guide while creating the Job Label. From the Job Label Template, the employer can add/remove skills and importantly calibrate their attributes. We recommend being very precise to get the most value from Job Futures.

With the Job Timeline, we put rules in place:

1. Once a Begin Date and Maturation Period are added, the End Date is automatically computed.
2. Begin Date is always the first day of the month; End Date is always the last day of the month.
3. Early Decision Date(s) are between the Begin and End Dates.
4. Application Date is within one month after the End Date.
5. User Interface includes constraints for Threshold and Enrollment Numbers while creating and updating the Job Future.

We encourage an Employer to maintain and update the Threshold and Enrollment Numbers during the Job Future.

Profanity, Information Deemed Inappropriate

If there is profanity or inappropriate information in a Job Label or a linked resource, the label will be removed. The goal of the labels is to provide clear, concise definitions of jobs.
