At the age of fifteen to eighteen, those youngsters are facing difficulties in everyday life independently. They earn freedom and the right of decision-making autonomously, at the same time, they feel nervous and fearful on the unexpected future. The most important thing of all for those youngsters is to get a stable employment and earn good enough income. Although some of them benefit from the welfare services, majority of them have to work hard to earn their living. And there are many factors influencing their work life, including the right conception on workplace, the employability, their motivation, skill level, mentality, and their previous work experiences. It’s a hard task they need to confront with, and getting mature from within.

In addition, what the strength and abilities the youngsters have, so they can get jobs and work stably, and go further their independent life in the future.
