Guide to CAREERwise Labor Market Service for College Programs
CAREERwise (careerwise.minnstate.edu) is the Minnesota State career and education website. Minnesota State schools can integrate labor market information from careerwise.minnstate.edu directly onto college program webpages using the service described here. Minnesota State offers this service to its colleges and universities free of charge.
Use the service to display labor market information:
- wages for recent graduates
- related occupations along with employment outlook information, and education information
- links to full occupation profiles with regional information, career videos, and job listings
directly on
any academic program page. You can view
sample implementations from other schools or
learn more about the data used by this tool.
Contact Us at any time for a demo or technical assistance.
Technical Details and Reports are available to help you once your ready to start the integration.

Technical Details and Reports
In this section you will find all of the information and tools you need to integrate the service into your website program pages.
Integration into a website is accomplished using a web link or an iframe. The URL for the link / iframe is constructed using your icode (institution code) and program codes
from program navigator as parameters. You can add multiple programs as parameters. To find the URL for each of the programs at your school see the Reports section.
See sample code Configurations below. You can also learn how to customize the CSS styles for your implementation.
If you are embedding using an iframe there is information for auto-sizing the iframe height.
Reports
Find a listing of programs at your school including the program codes and service URL. The service URL can be configured to display multiple programs or to default the
first panel as open (recomended when integrating with a link). We recommend that you preview the FAQs before you integrate data with your school for the first time.
Contact Us if you have questions about these reports.

FAQs
A widget URL will return a blank view if there is no CIP code attached to the program. Either contact the staff in your college responsible for entering program data into program navigator or contact us to resolve this issue.
Because of data privacy rules, DEED only provides graduate outcome wages when there is available data from at least 10 graduates. Wage data is specific to your college / university and is reported by program CIP code. Associate's, Bachelor's and Graduate degrees/certificates are reported separately. Data for diplomas and certificates is combined.
Recent wage data comes from following Minnesota Unemployment Insurance records. If a student becomes self-employed or moves out of state their data will not be recorded.
You can customize the list of occupations for any program in Program Navigator.
Contact
Academic Programs if you need help updating the related occupation list in Program Navigator.
This tool is built with a mobile responsive layout using Bootstrap. If you find any display errors please contact us and we will do our best to fix them.
