This problem is also present in Croatia. Secondary schools do not prepare students for the labor market. The focus is on rote learning and outdated information, methods and techniques. This results in young people leaving high school or college without the basic skills that employers are looking for. Not only that, but it does not even handle basic knowledge related to personal finances, account opening, credit, personal rights and the like, which is also a very big problem. I believe that it is necessary to start from the “source”, namely the professors in schools and colleges, changing the curriculum and introducing different methods and topics in subjects and courses. Only in this way will students be able to acquire adequate skills, which should be normal for education and are expected from it.

The unemployability of young people is a current topic and very important for every country, because as they say in our country, “the world rests on the young”. In Croatia, the problem with unemployability is big, and it is also present among the younger generations. I think that today’s times are a little different and that young people choose a little too much, and that they pretend to know too much and are not ready to do anything to reach some kind of personal goals. Some don’t even have them. I think that there is always a job, just that a person has to work hard enough to find it and sometimes accept a job that he did not plan to develop certain skills such as communication in the workplace, teamwork, kindness, understanding, but also to understand how it works adult world. The employment process is also a maturing process because people who enter the labor market for the first time face various novelties and sometimes difficulties. I believe that young people should already start preparing at school for developing skills and competencies that will help them to be competent, that will enable them to recognize themselves in one of the professions and that will encourage them to enter the labor market. A big role is played by teachers, parents and the society in which the young person lives. Also, I would recommend volunteering to every young person, because by volunteering in certain associations, organizations and companies, they can experience the trade, see first-hand if the job works and decide if it is for them or not. It is certainly a great experience.

Of course. The issue of climate change worries me a lot. On the one hand, I think that people can really contribute to reducing pollution and saving energy and water, but on the other hand, I’m afraid that the problem with climate change has gone too far. Considering how fast the world is developing and how much technological progress mankind has achieved in the last 30 years, I think that pollution is on the rise and that the problem is bigger than the actions of people themselves. Too much animal breeding, too much production, too many factories, power plants, cars, airplanes… In order for significant changes to occur, I think that we should first start with the biggest polluters and consumers and introduce changes in that area. Because sometimes I feel that everything we humans do, such as sorting waste, saving water, using biological products that do not pollute the environment and water, is in vain.
