The 2025 State of the Future U.S. Workforce Report, Untapped Talent: A national look at unfilled jobs and unmatched student potential, examines how aligning student aptitudes with career opportunities can strengthen the U.S. workforce.
Despite inherent aptitudes in key industries like healthcare, technology, and manufacturing, students often lack the exposure, and therefore interest, needed to pursue fitting careers. Analyzing 450,000 students’ data, YouScience® identifies how career exploration and early engagement can close this critical gap and prepare the next generation of talent.
