About
The stakes are high. Rapid technological change, shifting economic landscapes, and evolving consumption patterns are transforming how we work, live, and buy. This livestream session will explore how young people are shaping the future of work through new skills, innovative career paths, and entrepreneurial thinking. Together, we’ll examine why—and how—we should champion youth economic empowerment as a shared priority across generations. Participants will gain fresh perspectives on the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in a fast-changing world and discover how to lead with confidence in this new era of employment and enterprise. Objectives: • Explore how the world of work is evolving and what this means for young people’s careers. • Identify critical skills and emerging industries that will define the future job market. • Make a compelling case for why all generations have a stake in empowering young people economically—and how they can take action. The session will also include: • An introduction to the regional breadth of the Global Shapers Community, led by community managers. • An overview of Strategic Intelligence and how it can inform decisions and inspire action.
