Future of Work: Preparing Young People for a Changing World

The world of work is changing quickly, with new technologies, shifting industries and evolving career pathways reshaping what young people may need to navigate in the years ahead.

Join YEAWA for an online Town Hall meeting exploring what these changes could mean for schools and educators, and how we can help young people build the capabilities to adapt, make informed choices and contribute meaningfully in a changing world.

Bridget Staude, Educator in Residence at YEAWA will open the session with key insights from research including the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025, including changing workforce trends and skill demands.

We’ll then hear from guest speakers, who will each share a short practical example, idea or approach from their context that is helping prepare young people for the future.

The session will conclude with an educator Q&A and discussion, creating space to explore what these ideas could look like in different school contexts.

The conversation will also connect to the YEAWA Entrepreneurial Skills, including agency, adaptability, critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration and continuous improvement.
