Abstract

Graduate unemployment is regarded as a global phenomenon that threatens the economic stability in many societies. While there are many factors underlying this phenomenon, many researchers have indicated that inadequate enhancement of 21st century skills is one of the main culprits. In this chapter, the author provides a proposal for a new skill that should be included within our education curriculum. This skill aims to improve students' abilities to predict future career trends in their area of specialization. Forecasting career trends as a new skill is proposed in this chapter. To achieve the desired goal of this skill, the author suggests four sub-skills: perception of career desire; knowledge of specialization changes; recognition of career aspects; and invention of service methods. This chapter concludes with some recommendations and solutions.
