In the shifting sands of today's job market, young adults face unique challenges that can often seem overwhelming. With over a third of individuals aged 18 to 24 reporting no income from traditional employment in 2022, according to a St. Louis Fed report, it’s clear that new strategies are needed to engage with the evolving workforce landscape. At Maikoa Consulting, we understand these challenges, and we're here to help you architect a path that is authentically yours.

Discovering Your Personal Platform

At the heart of our approach is the belief in the power of authenticity— "You do you, and I'll do me." This philosophy isn't just about being different; it's about discovering and embracing what makes you uniquely capable and driven. Our mission at Maikoa Consulting is to guide you through the discovery of your Personal Platform, which includes your:

• Preferences and Passion: What excites you and holds your interest?

• Purpose and Presence: What impact do you wish to make in your surroundings?

• Principles and Pocket Ideas: What values drive your decisions and innovative thoughts?

• Proficiencies and Potential: What skills do you possess, and what are your possibilities?

• Pillar Powers: What are the strengths that hold you up and push you forward?

• People: The community of trusted advisors, mentors, and advocates who surround you and make you a better you.

Through reflective conversations, we explore aspects of your identity and aspirations, helping to illuminate your path forward in both personal and professional realms.

Aligning Vision with Market Realities

Understanding the current employment challenges—such as the trend towards skills-based hiring and the gap between educational achievements and job market needs—is crucial. We help you align your newly discovered Personal Platform with these realities. By focusing on your proficiencies and potential, you can better navigate the tightest labor market since World War II, as highlighted by recent economic reports.

Building Your Path

Once we understand what makes you "you"—your passions, principles, and proficiencies—we assist in crafting a career path that not only meets market demands but also fulfills your personal aspirations. Whether you're facing underemployment, mental health challenges, or the uncertainties of a post-COVID economy, Maikoa Consulting is here to support your journey toward a fulfilling and successful career.
