MyFuture

What MyFuture does

MyFuture is a career orientation platform operated by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) that serves the university's Bachelor's students, alumni, and affiliated external partner organizations. Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, the platform aggregates all career-related activities organized by parties associated with TU/e — ranging from company visits to skills workshops — and helps students select activities aligned with their career interests through a personalized "my profile" page that adapts recommendations to user-stated interests. The service is provided free of charge as part of TU/e's student career development infrastructure.

The platform is built on a web-based architecture accessible at myfuture.tue.nl, integrating with TU/e's OSIRIS student information system for automatic progress tracking. Its product surface spans the core MyFuture Platform, the in-person Career Desk at Metaforum 1.370 (operating Monday–Thursday 12:35–13:25), the P&PD Portal covering five skill categories (Employability & Career Skills, Teamwork Skills, Presenting Skills, Innovative Problem Solving Skills, Study Skills), one-on-one Career Coaching sessions, Career Academy workshops on CV, cover letter, LinkedIn, and job interview preparation, and an Online Career Check assessment tool. An external-partner login portal extends access to non-student organizations that offer activities. Distribution runs through university login credentials, organic social media (Instagram @myfuturetue, LinkedIn MyFutureTUE), email ([email protected]), and the on-campus Career Desk.

MyFuture operates as a non-profit, university-funded service with no commercial revenue model and no disclosed funding rounds. The organization has approximately 5 employees and is fully embedded within TU/e, with no independent equity ownership or external investment. Career Academy operates as a core strategic partner, co-powering the Career Desk and contributing workshop content. Geographic scope is restricted to the Netherlands, and the service targets the domestic TU/e student population plus alumni engagement.

Core offering

MyFuture is a free career orientation platform operated by TU/e (Eindhoven University of Technology) that gives students a single overview of all career-related activities organized by parties associated with the university — from company visits and skills workshops to career coaching. Students use a personalized 'my profile' page to describe their future career and select activities of interest, and the platform tracks their progress (with automatic progress tracking via OSIRIS). Complementary in-person and remote services include the Career Desk (quick advice on CVs, LinkedIn, cover letters, job interviews), one-on-one career coaching, Career Academy workshops, and an Online Career Check.

Product overview

MyFuture is a career orientation platform for TU/e students consisting of a core platform and multiple integrated modules. The core MyFuture Platform provides an overview of career-related activities and personalized activity recommendations. It integrates with the P&PD Portal for skill development resources and connects students to the Career Desk service for professional guidance. The platform also offers access to Career Academy workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, and an online career check tool. Together, these components form a comprehensive career development ecosystem designed to help students develop employability skills, explore career paths, and prepare for the job market.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn is the dominant professional network where students build profiles, find jobs, and network — explicitly including features MyFuture offers (LinkedIn profile checks). It is a broad incumbent competing for the same student career-orientation use cases.
• Chegg: Chegg is a broader student-services platform offering tutoring, career support, and internship connections. It overlaps with MyFuture on the employability-support and student-career-development axis, though at a much wider scope.

Direct peers

• GradLeaders: GradLeaders offers a platform combining student career services with alumni networking and mentorship. It mirrors MyFuture's combined focus on current-student career orientation plus alumni engagement.
• Symplicity: Symplicity provides career services management software used by universities to run career centers, post jobs, and schedule advising. It is comparable to MyFuture because both serve as the technology backbone behind a university's career-services operation.
• JobTeaser: JobTeaser is a European career platform embedded directly into universities, giving students access to job offers, events, and career content. It is a particularly close peer given MyFuture's Dutch/EU university context and integrated-platform model.
• 12twenty: 12twenty is a career-services platform focused on student outcomes, first-destination surveys, and employer recruiting. It overlaps with MyFuture in the university career-services workflow and student-outcome tracking dimension.
• Handshake: Handshake is the leading US-based career platform connecting university students with employers, internships, and job opportunities. It is the most direct commercial analog to MyFuture, serving the same student-and-employer intersection with a similar activity/event/appointment feature set.

Emerging players

• RippleMatch: RippleMatch is an early-career recruiting platform that uses matching technology to connect students and recent graduates with employers. It overlaps with MyFuture in the student-employer matching use case, with a stronger tech/AI orientation.
• WayUp: WayUp focuses on internships, early-career jobs, and student-employer matching, particularly for university students. It competes for the same student attention as MyFuture for internship and job discovery.

Others

• Big Interview: Big Interview provides online interview-preparation tools and training used by universities and students. It is thematically comparable to MyFuture's job-interview preparation offering at the Career Desk, though it focuses narrowly on that one competency.
