Problems Students Face Today
Most students are unprepared for the challenges of tomorrow, with critical gaps in skills, guidance, and confidence.
Soft Skills Deficit
• World Economic Forum in 2023 stated that a staggering 70% of students lack critical skills like creativity, communication, and leadership, even though 85% of jobs by 2030 will require them.
"The future demands thinkers and collaborators."
• According to LinkedIn's Global Talent Trends report (2019), 92% of talent professionals and 89% of hiring managers consider soft skills just as important as hard skills, yet most students graduate without them.
"Soft skills shape success in the workplace."
Self-Discovery Void
• A 2018 UNICEF study revealed that only 1 in 5 Indian students is aware of career options beyond conventional fields like engineering or medicine.
"Broadening horizons starts with early guidance."
• The OECD Education Report (2020) found that 52% of students in secondary education feel unprepared to make career decisions due to inadequate guidance.
"Preparation defines success in the journey ahead."
Professional Mentorship Void
• A McKinsey & Company report (2020) found that 83% of students with a mentor are more likely to be motivated and succeed, yet only 1 in 3 students has access to mentorship.
"Mentorship is the bridge to higher aspirations."
• According to the ASER survey of school-going 14-18-year-olds, 21% had no clear aspiration, and of those who did, 45% knew no one in that career.
"Dreams need a guide to turn into reality."
" 12 - 14 years
The most critical age for initiating career discussions, yet often overlooked by many. "
