I would start with one year after high school, why wait until they have finished university? I forgot a lot of stuff right after I was done... There are a lot of high school kids to place into volunteer or ROTC type positions. Then you have a big population of drop-outs, teen moms & dads, druggies and other less than prepared for the real world groups to deal with. If they don't want to go, do you make them do something? What about obese teens, do you send them off to boot camp for 6 months to live a forced healthy lifestyle and vastly improve their outlook on life (it should be done in junior high...)? This is one of those things a few states should do first, then we will see what happens.
