T-t-t-alkin’ ‘bout my generation?(or as Bobby DeNiro said in Taxi Driver, “Are you talkin’ to me?”). Gen Z has been making news, and rightly so, as the generation who must fill in gaps left by a mass exodus of Boomers retiring. But the news has not been positive. Groundbreaking employer research from Intelligent.com has tracked the majority of employers finding Gen Z entry level employees, ‘unsatisfactory’, many with plans to hold on hiring Gen Z in the coming year. What are employers and job seekers going to do? Join the Job Ready hosts as they talk with Huy Nguyen, Chief Education and Career Advisor at Intelligent, and Co-Founder of Solve Community Challenges as they explore the challenges and perceptions surrounding Gen Z in the workforce, including the impact of the pandemic, stereotypes, and the need for experiential learning. Huy also shares his expertise on the importance of adapting educational practices and workplace cultures to better prepare and integrate Gen Z employees, emphasizing the role of mentorship and the evolving future of work.
