The following report describes the project carried out by the group “Lost in Translation,” which addressed the issue of difficulties in youth labor insertion, aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. The main cause identified is the lack of essential tools, such as interview preparation and the preparation of an adequate curriculum vitae (CV), due to the prioritization of formal academic education over practical workplace skills in the educational system. The objective was to implement a formative and interactive talk aimed at high school students who were close to graduating, focusing on CVs, demanded soft skills, and frequent situations in job interviews. The methodology consisted of a quantitative descriptive study applied to sixth-year students in a technical orientation (18–19 years old) from Epet No. 18, using surveys before and after the intervention. The results confirmed the need for the intervention, given that 55.6% of participants had no work experience, and 92.6% had never had an interview. Significant knowledge gaps were detected, as 51.7% reported having "very little information" on how to put together a basic CV before the talk, and 75.9% did not know about employment platforms in the area, apart from LinkedIn. Following the intervention, a high positive impact on perceived preparedness was recorded: 96.6% stated they had obtained sufficient tools to feel more confident when seeking employment, and 100% analyzed general guidelines regarding a job interview. The level of interest was notably high, with 93.1% of those surveyed rating the talk with 8, 9, or 10 points. The conclusion establishes that the talk was an effective catalyst for confidence and knowledge in the short term [Revised Conclusion]. To consolidate the long-term impact, the creation and delivery of a digital guide (PDF) with CV templates and frequently asked questions is recommended, facilitating autonomous learning and reinforcing the quality of the intervention.
