YouRock is an online platform that allows youth to create dynamic profiles highlighting their skills gained from everyday activities. Users select activities that are then matched to work skills. This generates a visual "diamond" of their strongest skill areas. Users can build portfolios, get endorsements from others, and employers can search for candidates. The registration process involves selecting activities to populate the skills profile. Users can then edit their profile, skills, resume and other content. Employers and youth can connect through online messaging and search functions on the multilingual site.

 Their profiles are never empty
 Tests and self-discovery are appealing to young people. They can
see how their everyday activities are transformed into real work
skills
 They learn the language of employers; they learn to present their
experience in an attractive way
 They can add links to their online content to confirm their skills
 At the same time it can encourage them to create this content to
show their skills
Why should young people use it?
