Education serves more purposes than just preparing one for a career. However, it is also true that if a student graduates without being prepared to enter a financially viable and sustainable career, then we have failed them.
This report, created by a team at Entangled supported by the Gates Foundation, is a helpful primer on the state of career guidance in the education system.
The key takeaways from this report show an increasing gap between what our education systems are providing to students and what they need to find the right career pathway for them and ensure they have a successful entry point.
New products and services are needed to help students at all stages better navigate to ensure they are making the best educational choices they can to achieve their desired career.
The lack of affordable and up-to-date guidance tools is increasing the equity gap across all demographic areas. The United States currently has historically low unemployment rates with thousands of job openings in fast-growing fields and yet we are not yet helping our students find paths to these job sectors. We can and should do better.
