AS someone who has spent over 20 years in the field of human resources hiring, restructuring, mentoring, and watching careers rise and sometimes stall, I can say this with conviction: There is a growing career guidance gap for teens, and it is widening at a time when the job market is changing faster than ever before.

Today’s teens are growing up in a world dominated by social media trends, artificial intelligence-generated content, influencer careers, and viral TikTok success stories.
