What’s going on:     

A recent survey conducted by Intelligent has revealed that a sizable portion of business leaders believe that recent college graduates from Generation Z are unprepared for the workforce, according to Business Insider.  

The survey included responses from 1,243 business leaders, revealing that 40% consider recent graduates unprepared for the work environment, with 94% of this group admitting to sometimes or always avoiding hiring them. The primary criticisms revolve around perceived poor work ethic, inadequate communication skills, and a sense of entitlement.

Why it matters:   

This perception held by business leaders could potentially limit job opportunities for recent graduates from Generation Z, impacting their career progression and financial stability. It also raises concerns about the future dynamics of the workforce, given that the perceived deficiencies center around core soft skills and attitudes. The survey results point to a potential disconnect between the education system, modern culture, and the expectations of the workplace.  

How it’ll impact the future:    

The future of work may see an increased focus on soft skills training and development — both within educational institutions and businesses. Workplace etiquette classes, as suggested by the business leaders surveyed, could become more commonplace to better prepare Gen Z employees. It’s possible that employers might look at updating their onboarding programs to address these perceived deficiencies.
