Broadcasting from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, we speak to Dr. Memuna Williams, Founder and CEO of Empowering Sustainable Change, about the rapidly shifting future of work, education, and opportunity for young people—particularly in South Africa.
As youth unemployment rises and university spaces remain limited, Dr. Williams shares powerful insights from global leaders at Davos on why the traditional “study, get a job, retire” model is disappearing. She explores what replaces it: gig work, multiple career paths, entrepreneurship, TVET options, mentorship, and digital portfolios.
This episode offers practical, affordable, and immediately actionable advice for school leavers, parents, and caregivers—covering how to navigate rejection, pivot wisely, build visibility through platforms like LinkedIn, and seek mentors in a changing global economy. We also discuss the shared responsibility between individuals, families, government, and the private sector in closing education and skills gaps.
A must-listen conversation on education reform, youth empowerment, employability, and sustainable change—straight from one of the world’s most influential global forums.
