Robert Half’s latest report, “Get Ready for Generation Z,” explores the next generation of job candidates, Generation Z, who are expected to make up 20% of the workforce by 2020. The company surveyed college-age students from the United States and Canada to find out how students are preparing for the workforce and how they’ll influence the older generations they’ll be working alongside.
When asked about the first five years of their careers, 32% of respondents expect to be managing or supervising employees in a corporate environment, 24% expect to be working their way up the corporate ladder, and 20% expect to start their own business or become an entrepreneur. In addition, the majority of respondents prefer a 30-45 minute commute (34%), prefer to work for a midsize business/organization (41%), and want to work at a company that offers opportunities for career growth (64%).
The report also notes that members of Generation Z are great at innovation, creativity, and technology but lack communication, problem-solving, and project-management skills. Read the full report at http://bit.ly/GetReadyGenZ.
