Jobs with Advance Vermont

Come Work with Us

By 2028, 100 percent of the state’s high-growth, high-wage jobs will require education or training after high school. Yet, as of 2019, only 53 percent of working age Vermonters hold a postsecondary credential (apprenticeship, certificate, degree etc.)–well short of the state goal of 70 percent by 2025.

Advance Vermont is out to change that.

In 2021 we launched, MyFutureVT, an innovative online one-stop for career and education resources.

We are a small and dynamic team looking to have an outsized impact on Vermont. Join us.
