The OECD Report “Dream Jobs? Teenagers’ Career Aspirations and the Future of Work” rightly notes that “in spite of completing an unprecedented number of years of formal education, young people continue to struggle in the job market, and governments continue to worry about the mismatch between what societies and economies demand and education systems supply”.
With Industrialization 4.0, it is necessary to develop key employability skills at an early age to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset. The skills developed during teenage are the ones that form the bedrock of thriving careers.
