 INTRODUCTION
In the dynamic and competitive landscape of the 21st century, education and career development are pivotal for shaping a skilled
and empowered workforce. This project explores three critical aspects within this domain: skill development programs for
unemployed youth, challenges faced by first-generation college students in higher education, and the impact of internships on youth
career readiness.
First, skill development initiatives play a crucial role in addressing unemployment among young people by equipping them with
relevant competencies and enhancing their employability. These programs not only bridge the skills gap but also foster economic
growth and social inclusion.
Second, the challenges encountered by first-generation college students are a significant concern, as these individuals often face
unique obstacles, including financial constraints, cultural adjustments, and a lack of academic guidance. Understanding and
addressing these challenges are essential to ensuring equitable access to higher education.
Finally, internships serve as a bridge between academic learning and professional experience, offering students practical exposure
and preparing them for the demands of the job market. Evaluating the effectiveness of internships in fostering career readiness can
provide valuable insights for educational institutions and employers alike.
This project aims to analyze these interrelated aspects, highlighting their significance in promoting education and career
advancement for youth in diverse contexts.
