Crisis-Proofing Today’s Learners: Reimagining Career Education to Prepare Kids for Tomorrow’s World offers insights into the types of skills young people need to be successful in today’s workforce and prepare them for careers that we might not even have imagined in 2023.
Sadly, many of our kids today are just not adequately prepared to make informed, confident decisions about what they want to do after high school. A thought-provoking examination of today’s education system and workforce preparedness, Crisis-Proofing Today’s Learners: Reimagining Career Education to Prepare Kids for Tomorrow’s World explores the career readiness pathways our youth take and how a different educational approach could prepare them for the detours life presents. It offers insights into the types of skills young people need to be successful in today’s workforce and prepare them for careers that we might not even have imagined in 2023.
