 Young people all around the earth are crying out and even marching to say that we need to end the coal age.

When asked about what universities aim for in their graduates, employability would certainly come at the top of the list.  But being employable requires more than just having the skills needed directly to perform the job, it also includes the competencies to maneuver the workplace and to see one's future in it.  University educators are generally at an early stage of embracing the notion of teaching their students about career readiness.  In this presentation, I would like to discuss three levers for change.  First, there has to be a genuine uptake of this role by teachers.  Second, the general education curriculum as well as the co-curriculum (non-formal learning) can be suitable venues for teaching about the working life.  Third, digital transformation in the workplace hastened by COVID suggests that experiential learning for exploring careers and jobs should keep pace with the change and boldly experiment with alternatives such as virtual internship and virtual work experience.  A form of learning for career readiness that is authentic and meaningful is recommended above all.
