NMDWS Unveils Newly Redesigned Career Solutions Website
More User-Friendly Site with Enhancements and New Appearance
(Albuquerque) - The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (NMDWS) an-
nounced the launch of the newly redesigned Career Solutions website. Career Solutions is a
tool for anyone who is exploring career options as well as young people and students pre-
paring for the world of work. The website provides a comprehensive set of interactive tools
to assist users in accessing a wide variety of information, such as job demand by individual
industry and average salaries for specific job categories, as well as education levels re-
quired to pursue certain careers. Additionally it features a tool which engages young people
to determine how much they need to earn in order to pay for basic necessities as well as
recreational, entertainment and leisure activities, based on their feedback and inputs. Since
the site debuted in 2016, it has been a popular and heavily used tool for educators, students,
and individuals throughout New Mexico and beyond.
The updated Career Solutions site has the same features and tools as the previous version,
including the option to create a personal account that allows users to save their activities
within the site. Improvements to the site include a new look, optimized functionality, and
enhanced customization options, with many of the changes driven by feedback from indi-
viduals, students, and educators. For users with an existing Career Solutions account, infor-
mation is already stored in the updated site, and users can log in utilizing their existing user
name and password. Individuals to the site can be assured that information is protected and
secured.
Acting cabinet secretary Erin Thompson praised the improvements to the already success-
ful web tool. “The Career Solutions website is considered among the best career explora-
tion tool in the country for the breadth of the information available and the user friendly,
interactive and engaging nature of the system. These enhancements and increased capabili-
ties will serve to provide an even greater and more meaningful user experience.”
