What is Future Plans?

Future Plans is a nonprofit organization that focuses on workforce development. Through a collaborative approach, Future Plans stimulates economic growth for communities by building an in-demand workforce. Starting with a career assessment, both students and adults discover their strengths and then work 1-on-1 with a career coach to establish a plan that can lead to postsecondary education, job-specific credentialing, or directly to employment.

What is the Future Plans assessment?

The Future Plans assessment is a comprehensive tool that measures your interests, abilities, and work values that are key to understanding which in-demand, financially stable career paths are best suited for you.

Can anyone take the assessment?

Is the assessment timed?

The assessment has several sections, some of which are individually timed. But, there is no time limit for overall completion.

How will the assessment and coaching help me find a better job?

The Future Plans assessment process provides you with real-time jobs data from top employers specific to the career you're pursuing. With your career coach, you'll be able to fully understand the real-world benefits and values your personality, strengths, and abilities are capable of - as well as uncover the education options and career paths that best suit you.

What do I do if I have technical problems with the assessment?

Please use the "Support" option within the application. Alternatively, you can send an email to support@futureplans.org.

Can I use a smart phone to take the assessment?

Unfortunately, our assessment is not available in a mobile application so you will not be able to use a smart phone for it.

I don’t have a tablet or computer. How can I access the assessment?

Many communities have public workspaces or remote work centers with computers or tablets available. Your local library may also have computers available for public use.

Is Future Plans conpliant with Ohio SB 29?

At Future Plans, we prioritize the privacy and security of all data entrusted to us. While Ohio’s new student data privacy law, SB 29, does not apply to our services, we remain deeply committed to protecting the information of the students and schools we serve. Future Plans operates independently, with students engaging directly with our platform under our terms of use. We do not provide school-issued devices, create or maintain educational records, or operate at the direction of schools. Any data shared with schools is presented in limited formats and does not meet the criteria of “educational records” as defined under the law. To ensure transparency and uphold best practices, we have implemented data governance measures to safeguard all information. These practices reflect our commitment to maintaining the trust of our partners and supporting schools in their efforts to enhance student outcomes. If you have questions about our data privacy practices or the services we provide, please feel free to contact us at (216) 202-5310. Together, we can continue empowering students to achieve their goals while ensuring their data remains secure. Sincerely, The Future Plans Team
