Youth Opportunity Portal
3.0
Introduction
Youth Opportunity Portal is being refreshed! Why, you may ask? IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
INCREASED CONVERSION OF APPLICANTS
Ensure an attractive, easy-to-understand process for every youth that goes on YOP.
By having a simple flow, we intend to have more youth that sign up actually apply for an opportunity.
BRAND ALIGNED PLATFORM
MORE INFORMATIONAL
With the launch of blue book in 2016, the platform has been designed to align with all branding, especially product-specific.
The YOP will include product-specific information to ensure youth have the right understanding of products before applying.
Setting Expectations This guide will cover the changes that were made in the Youth Opportunity Portal. These changes will require action from the network in order to properly implement the new system when it is launched. Most importantly, you must update all your current opportunities to make the change possible. If you do not complete this, unfortunately your entity is at risk of not having any of your current opportunities shown on YOP 3.0. Changes in the new fields will display in the new version.

This fee is shown in the currency set by the entity of the country they are browsing from. This is a field only MCs can fill in on their committee page. Every MC must have a standard fee for each product in your own currency, as it will be shown for each opportunity opened in the entity.
