Retiring CAREERwise, LMIwise, and MyMnCareers
We're saying goodbye to CAREERwise, LMIwise, and MyMnCareers. While these sites have been valuable resources in the past, they're now due for retirement as they no longer offer the most accurate and current career and labor market information.
Got questions or concerns? We're here to help! Reach out to us at careerwise@minnstate.edu, and we'll do our best to assist you. Your feedback is important to us as we navigate this transition.
Why is CAREERwise being retired?
The CAREERwise site, along with LMIwise and MyMnCareers, is being retired because the platform that supports them is out of date and they no longer offer the most accurate and current career and labor market information.
How long will I have access to these sites?
The sites will remain online until July 1, 2024.
Where can I find regional labor market data?
Current labor market data is available at DEED's Career and Education Explorer.
Does Minnesota State plan to create a new site with similar resources?
There are no plans to recreate CAREERwise, LMIwise, or MyMnCareers at Minnesota State.
