“We spend our entire childhood and adolescence preparing to start a stable career, yet the tools to be successful are not taught in school.
While some of it comes with time, most of the hard and soft skills young talent actually need can be taught at the onset of their careers as core building blocks. These fundamentals answer many of the scary unknowns, leading to confidence and happiness both personally and professionally.”
