Connor Vukelich started Poppin’ Jobs after struggling to find work following his 16th birthday. The platform focuses on job seekers ages 16 to 24 and currently lists opportunities for a database of 100,000 potential applicants. Vukelich said legacy job boards often favor senior applicants. He built Poppin’ Jobs to provide specialized guidance for first-time job seekers.

The site includes résumé-building features and an AI interview assistant. It also offers a local job map for users who rely on bicycles for transportation. Vukelich is a 20-year-old student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He is working to increase the number of employers and volunteer opportunities listed on the platform.

5 percent in April, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. 6 percent last November. A ZipRecruiter study found many recent college graduates are turning to entrepreneurship, gig work, and freelance positions. Vukelich said he advises students to combine their knowledge with AI skills.
