About this listen
Bridging Education and the Future of Work
Are we truly preparing young people for real life or just for exams?
In this episode of the EMBR.ACE Education Podcast, we explore one of the most pressing questions in education today:
How well does school prepare young people for the world of work and where does it fall short?
Together, we reflect on:
• the gap between formal education and real-life professional demands
• what students crave from learning today — and what teachers long to offer
• what employers are actually looking for beyond grades and qualifications
• the role of self-development, creativity, and lifelong learning in building meaningful careers
• and the essential human skills that cannot be replicated by AI
As voices from the educational community come together, one thing becomes clear: Life skills are not “extra.” They are essential.
This episode invites educators, leaders, parents, and professionals to rethink how learning connects with life and how we can better support young people to navigate a changing world with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.
