Gen Z wants employers to give hard skills training. Despite headlines saying Gen Z lacks soft skills, an Adobe survey of 1K Gen Z found that the young workers say it’s actually digital skills they want more guidance on. While they are digital natives, some say tech education to use workplace programs is available only to “affluent students.” And now, as many employers are looking at skills over education, training in these areas is crucial for young people looking for their first, or next, career—so companies may need to invest in offering this training themselves. YPulse data shows that today’s high school and middle school students are more likely to say they don’t need a college degree to be successful, they know it’s work experience that will drive them forward.
