Background: Rapid technological change is reshaping labor markets, rendering many existing jobs obsolete while creating roles that do not yet exist. Traditional education systems often fail to equip students with durable, transferable skills required for this uncertain future. Objective: This article examines how educational technology can foster career readiness by developing competencies such as adaptability, critical thinking, and digital collaboration, rather than focusing solely on technical proficiency. Methods: A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected via a survey of 200 educators and administrators across K-12 and higher education institutions, measuring technology adoption and perceived student skill development. Qualitative data were obtained from 20 semi-structured interviews with teachers, curriculum designers, and industry partners, supplemented by document analysis of technology plans and curricula. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns. Results: Findings indicate that strategic use of simulations, collaborative platforms, and project-based digital tools significantly enhances students' problem-solving and teamwork skills. However, barriers such as inadequate teacher training, unequal access to devices, and the digital divide limit effectiveness. Successful implementation depends on aligning technology with clear pedagogical goals and industry partnerships. Conclusion: Technology is a powerful enabler of future career readiness when integrated within a human-centric framework that prioritizes durable skills and equitable access. The article proposes a practical model for educators and policymakers to bridge the gap between current practices and future workforce demands.
