Youth unemployment keeps trending the wrong way, and career development leader Candy Ho points to something specific that used to give young workers structure and discipline that's harder to find now. A first job at a fast food chain once meant something on a resume. She explains what's stepped into that gap, if anything has.

Candy Ho also has direct advice for the adults who unintentionally poison a young person's career hopes with their own bitterness about a tough industry, and what a more honest, still-supportive version of that conversation actually sounds like.

She names a specific tool built to make career conversations with young people less like an interrogation and more like an actual exchange, one that takes the pressure off any single adult having to have all the answers.

Topics: youth unemployment, career development, entry-level jobs, mentorship, transferable skills
