Education to Employment Report | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Around the world, governments and businesses face a conundrum: high levels of youth unemployment and a shortage of job seekers with critical skills. How can a country successfully move its young people from education to employment?

 

Seventy-five million youth are unemployed


• Half of youth are not sure that their post secondary education has improved
their chances of finding a job*
• Almost 40 percent of employers say a lack of skills is the main reason for
entry-level vacancies!!!

 

 

 

Among working youth, only 55 percent landed in a job relevant to their field of study, with 25 percent finding interim work–jobs that are unrelated to their field of study and that youth plan to leave quickly.
