Youth Unemployment & The Skills Gap

The unemployment rate for those aged from 16 to 24 years has been consistently higher than that for older age groups since comparable records began in 1992. Youth unemployment continues to be 2.5x times higher than the general population figure. Several employer’s surveys report on an employability skills gap that continues to effect recruitment. The labour market is fast pacing with increased integration of digital and artificial intelligence. As a result, businesses call for more adaptable, flexible and creative workforce to prepare for careers for the future.
