Career Pathways in a Rapidly Changing World: A Conversation with Andreas Schleicher at the OECD

Welcome to our first podcast episode of Career Pathways in a Rapidly Changing World series. Our guest is Andreas Schleicher, the director of Education and Skills at Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). We will discuss how the OECD partners with countries from around the world to support their young people in the transition from school to work. Andreas shares how the approaches to career readiness are shifting around the globe.
"While young people today tend to have more education, more degrees; they tend to have fewer skills, less real-world experience. As a result, young people, on average across OECD countries, are unemployed about 2.5 times more than adults over 24 and in some countries this ratio is much higher. Fortunately, thanks to the OECD’s Career Readiness team, there is a growing road map to help young adults get into employment." ~ Paul Herdman, Rodel CEO and President
