I assume you want them to have a leveraged, high-impact job, rather than happening to spend most of their life on a certain type of problem.
Help by getting them exposure to people doing the work. A chance to talk, a chance to learn about the impact of the work. Learning materials are more accessible than ever, but a unique reason to pursue a particular path is less convincing than ever.
Empower them to find a path in that general direction. Help them find projects that they like (or love), that can contribute meaningfully to, and projects for which they care about the outcome—it has some significance to them (or delivers clear value to benefactors they care about).
