In a rapidly changing job market, it's essential for young people to have the skills and knowledge needed to succeed. To address this need, JA Worldwide and SAP have launched a global career discovery initiative aimed at preparing youth for the future of work.
This partnership will provide access to career exploration tools and resources, helping young people navigate the evolving world of work and make informed decisions about their future careers.
