Our startup aims to revolutionize career awareness for the youth (14-26) by offering a comprehensive online platform:
Users can take a personalized personality and preference test, and include their previous experiences, which will generate a tailored list of relevant career options. The platform will provide detailed insights into each career path, including the necessary qualifications, market demand, skills, salary, and steps to achieve success, empowering individuals to make informed career decisions and pursue their professional aspirations with confidence.
1. Lack of Self-Awareness and Clarity in Career Aspirations: Young individuals are faced with a major decision at the end of high school, but most of them struggle to understand their unique skills, interests, and personality traits, and don't know what career/job will satisfy them 2. Limited Exposure to Career Options: The young individuals lack awareness of the limitless career options they have as they are not provided with sufficient opportunities to explore and discover the wide range of career options 3. Misalignment between career choices and labor market needs: There is a lack of transparency and centralized information on labour market needs and trends, leading to individuals making misinformed decisions about their career path 4. Misaligned education offerings to student interests: Educational institutions fail to continuously adapt their offerings with global trends and topics for which the youth may show growing interest in
Implementing this platform will benefit young individuals by providing them with the necessary tools to gain self-awareness, explore diverse career options, and make informed decisions about their future. This will lead the future generation to have greater job satisfaction and professional, and personal fulfilment. Consequently, labour market needs will also be more satisfied and educational offerings more adapted to the youth's changing interests.
