Youth born between 1980 and 2000 are known as the Y generation. Sometimes, they are even referred to as the “Why Not?” group! This is because they are so accustomed to instant problem solving through their various technological devices.
However, when it comes to career decision making, I have found them to be often bored and uninterested. Perhaps it is the “career” word, when they are thinking more along the lines of “jobs.”
Here are a few tips for keeping their attention:
- The average Gen Y person is expected to change jobs 29 times during their life.
- The average job retention rate for this group is expected to be 1.1 years.
Therefore, they desperately need to know what sort of positions they would enjoy, how to effectively job search and how to manage their own career process.
There are many other facts out there concerning Gen Y. In particular, the changing world of technology will have a huge impact on how careers will be transformed.
