The Education–Skills Gap ➔

  • Student Success Requires Skills Schools Don’t Always Teach

    The Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development ‘s 2030 Learning Compass revealed 3 transformative competencies students need to contribute to & thrive in, and shape a better future:

    • Creating new value
    • Reconciling tensions & dilemma
    • Taking responsibility

  • Skills Are Becoming Obsolete—Fast

    On average, workers can expect that 39% of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Future of Jobs Report.

    Additionally, 63% of employers identifiedskills gaps as the biggest barrier to business transformation.

  • Teens Say They Aren’t Ready for What Comes Next

    In the 2025 Post-Graduation Readiness Report from YouScience‍ ‍72% of graduates felt only moderately, slightly, or not at all prepared for life after high school. They indicated a desire for the following :

    • Work-based learning opportunities
    • More career counseling or guidance
    • To better understand their aptitudes

Hear directly from students & educators about how our programs have sparked curiosity, confidence, and real-world skills.

Let’s Get Started:

If your student is searching for clarity, direction, and momentum, this is where their confidence soars.

For Students

If your school is seeking a pathway to meaningful innovation, partnering with Design Tech is where it becomes possible.

For Educators

I now feel more comfortable…

“Before the innovation program, I was very hesitant of others shutting down my ideas. I now feel more comfortable giving out an idea and understanding that it’s okay if it doesn’t work. That’s something I know will benefit me for the rest of my life.”
