This project investigates the learning and professional development needs of Generation Z as they enter the workforce and what organisations must change to engage them effectively.
Project Overview
Carried out by Learnovate for WorkJuggle, this research project examines how Gen Z learns, as the first generation to grow up fully immersed in digital technology, and what that means for workplace Learning and Development (L&D). With Gen Z expected to make up over a quarter of the workforce, organisations are under pressure to rethink training models designed for previous generations. The project combined three strands of research: a review of the literature, a survey of Gen Z employees in Ireland and the UK, and interviews with experienced L&D professionals delivering training to
Gen Z cohorts. The research covered topics such as:
The project concludes with practical recommendations for a Gen Z learning strategy: outlining approaches can improve the effectiveness of training not just for Gen Z but for all employees.
This report, prepared by the Learnovate Centre, Trinity College Dublin for WorkJuggle, investigates the evolving learning and professional development requirements of Generation Z (Gen Z) as they integrate into the modern workforce.
