A significant number of students are starting their careers without the guidance they need to succeed. A new OECD report, The State of Global Teenage Career Preparation, studied 690,000 teenagers in 80 countries, based on new analysis of findings from the most recent OECD PISA survey, looks at the challenges facing young people and includes recommendations to help them and improve career guidance.
The report will be published at 11:00 CEST (09:00 GMT) on Tuesday 20 May.
