Next Gen Skills

AI is changing the workforce at an unforeseen pace: technical skills are automated away, old jobs cut, and new jobs created. Skills that transfer across jobs are critical.

Soft skills are highly transferable and thus increasingly valuable in today’s workforce.

Yet, schools fail to help students build these skills, making it more difficult to get a job.

There is no platform to train and assess soft skills.

Schools do not prepare students for work, and while the majority of education providers (74%) are confident graduates are prepared for work, only 35% of employers agree.

Soft skill training provides a solution and Technical skills contribute to a mere 15% of career success, while 85% is determined by soft skills.

Only 42% of young people believe they’re adequately trained for work, and the majority of students graduate without jobs. Gen Z needs a solution.

NextGen Skills is an AI-powered platform that helps individuals train, assess, and apply transferable career skills to promote gainful employment.
