Focus on…Millennials
Millennials, also known as Generation Y (Gen Y), are the cohort generally thought to have been born between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s. The latest VOCEDplus ‘Focus on' topic considers international research on recent graduate outcomes of millennials and how prepared they are for the world of work, as well as the strategies employers might need to hire and retain this generation of workers.
The VOCEDplus ‘Focus on’ pages aim to highlight topical issues in the tertiary education sector. Past topics have been Apprenticeships and traineeships, Digital disruption - jobs, Digital disruption - skills and training and Parity of esteem.
