Age Group: 13 Years to 27 Years

Current Situation:

Kapols youngsters in their teenage years and initial career years face tremendous challenges in choosing career path and advancing in the career. Kapol students experience pressure to score good marks, pursue higher education and get higher degrees in science and commerce. Even when they start job or business, there is pressure to earn more money to be acceptable in the community and to be selected as a life-partner by good family. In education, job and business, there is tremendous competition. Things keep changing at a rapid pace. Youngsters need to establish themselves, create their own identity and respect. 

Problem:

How can Kapol teens and young adults become successful in their education, job and business? What network, referrals, connections, skills, financial resources and encouragement does our community member need and how can the community provide it?

Possible Solutions and Ideas:

1) Encourage Youngsters to learn about the technology trends in advance. Encourage them to focus on skills and not on degrees. Help them acquire new skills. 

2) Create community programs to encourage skill development.
