I’ve wanted to do a show to prepare young people to be job-ready for a while now. It is critical that teens learn the processes and skills to get a job. Youth unemployment last year increased to more than 20 million as the talent gap becomes more defined. Natascha Saunders is a Youth Career Coach, who will help us understand how to prepare young people to be job-ready.

Let me know your thoughts about this episode. Here’s how you can expand the conversation:

  1. Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
  2. Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
  3. Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com

 

Preparing Young People to be Job Ready

Let me share more about Natascha. She is the founder of Youth Career Coach, Incorporated. She is a certified career coach and also a Ph.D. candidate, Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) (ABD), Organizational Leadership & Communication at Northeastern University.  Her media expertise has been displayed on ABC, COX, and WHUR radio. 

Here are some highlights from our conversation:

  • Natascha saw how students erroneously filled out academic and employment applications—it inspired for her to start coaching young people
  • Although she had a lot of academic credentials, she felt the need to obtain a coaching certification
  • She also has coached executives, and she explains the similarities between coaching teens and adults
  • Teens are more focused on short-term goals although long-term change is frequent and eminent. Adults often need to conduct a stealth job search. Both teens and adults are challenged with confidence
  • Natascha sees the challenges of young adults constant change of focus. She digs into the reason why—calling it reverse management
  • Educate and problem solving are essential skills in her work with teens

Need help with your career goals, directions, or efforts? Do you need coaching or instruction? I am here for it!

Don’t forget the last show for the season is July 26, and the new one will begin on Sept. 6. I will be publishing new articles (up to 3x a week) on the blog. If you’re a career pro and love giving career advice, let me know. I would love to have more guest writers during my hiatus and beyond.
