Who Is Gen Z and What Makes Them Rock?
So, who exactly is Gen Z, and what makes them rock? Gen Z refers to all born between 1995 and 2012, totaling a whopping 1.3 billion individuals aged 14 to 24 worldwide. They're a significant force in the job market as they enter the early stages of their careers (around 20-25 years old on average). Employers are fighting tooth and nail to attract and retain this extraordinary talent pool.
What sets Gen Z apart from the Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials is their unique experience of the global lockdown. They've faced unprecedented challenges, from virtual internships to online schooling, and missed milestones like graduations and school dances. These experiences have shaped their expectations and what they seek from employers. They understand the value of work and are on the hunt for positions that align with their values and bring joy into their lives.
