Characteristics, Engagement, Learning, and Career Aspirations of Generation Z

Abstract

This chapter will discuss existing and emerging research on Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2010. It will discuss this generation’s formative context, values, beliefs, learning preferences, and career aspirations. Strategies for tailoring career education programs and services to the needs of this generation will be discussed. In particular, opportunities for engaging this generation in transformative career education practices in higher education will be explored, including possibilities for integrating technology and experiential learning into career education practices, and supporting students in developing those generational strengths – such as creativity and adaptability – that represent uniquely valuable capacities in the evolving world of work.
