The document discusses how students often do not see the real-world applicability of their education and are unsure of what to do after high school. It proposes that mentorships could help give students relevance by connecting them to real-world experiences. Additionally, allowing students to explore different career paths through online lessons and introducing career exploration into the school curriculum could help address this issue.
