I don't know that there is any solution at all, (speaking for the USA only), because of our idiotic entitlement/advancement/avoidance of responsibility system.
We send our kids to schools that praise and advance them, whether or not they do the work. Or even understand how to do the work.
Then we pay colleges and universities to take them , usually with remedial courses for the first year or so, who run praise and advance them, as long as the tuition money comes in. If you can't afford the tuition, you can borrow from the government and put yourself in debt for 20 years before you even get a job.
Oh, the colleges also don't recruit based on actual talent or capabilities, they recruit for diversity.
Then, we toss them out into the job market knowing virtually nothing, except that for 22 years, they have been perfect, could do no wrong, and never actually faced a problem except what fashions to wear to the next party.
The real world is is quite a shock.

I personally would go back to real elementary education. Mathematics, reading, critical thinking, writing... and then, for secondary education, or actually, even the high school level, offer alternative directions like there used to be... Technical high schools for actual trades. I don't think any exist any longer, but I might be wrong.
Most of these privileged pampered kids have never actually gotten a single blister from actual work. Most of the poor kids from inner cities end up running in gangs, and know weapons better than wrenches.
There is still the fantasy of 'growing up to be a rich doctor' or 'lawyer', unfortunately, in reality, we have a glut of doctors and lawyers. To the point that there are no jobs for them. Believe me, they don't like it to see their parents HVAC tech living in a nicer house, and driving a newer car then they can.
Trump (no comment) wants to "Bring Back Manufacturing". That is impossible without:
Electricians
Mechanics
Welders
Machinists
Boiler Operators
PLC / HMI Programmers
and....
People with enough of a work ethic, and skill level, to actually operate the machines.
/sigh.
