The Human Skills Gap: Empowering Our Youth with the Missing Piece

SOURCE: National Career Development Association

The potential of today's youth is immense, while the challenges they face to reach that promising future are real and daunting. To thrive in an unprecedented time of change and uncertainty requires skills that are durable, transferable, and most of all, uniquely human. The good news: every student already has a subset of these skills! The bad news: too many never realize it and their potential is sidelined.  

Educators have an incredible opportunity to unlock the potential of our next generation. Making human skills a core - and explicit - part of the everyday classroom experience will lead to engagement, well-being, and thriving communities.  

Chris Mackey and Courtney Reilly share the experiences that drive their determination to equip today’s youth with human skills, and how they created Skillsline to fill the gap in knowledge and awareness of the human skills essential to a bright future for us all.
