How Schools and Parents Can Guide Students to Future-Proof Careers
Every year, thousands of Nigerian graduates discover that a degree alone no longer guarantees meaningful employment. As AI, automation, and digital technologies reshape industries, our education system must catch up. Students often choose fields based on passion or pressure without understanding daily realities. Career programmes should cover training length, costs, entry-level salaries, industry challenges, future demand, and the skills employers will need. Parents must step in as career partners, not dictators. By asking the right questions and aligning choices with their children’s natural strengths, they can help students make informed decisions. Schools, families, and industry professionals should collaborate year-round—through assessments, workplace visits, and trend analysis—to ensure every student selects a course they love and one that offers genuine opportunity in tomorrow’s job market.
