What do we need to do differently to prepare young people for their first job?
A new report highlighted in Fortune cites a survey of nearly 1,000 U.S. business leaders from Intelligent.com.
Many say they’ve already fired recent graduates shortly after hiring them.
But this isn’t a Gen Z problem.
It’s a preparation problem.
Fundamentals still matter:
• Communication
• Initiative
• Time management
• Accountability
• Understanding how work actually works
If we want young professionals to succeed, the work starts long before their first job.
• Families
• Schools
• Universities
• Employers
Everyone plays a role.
What fundamentals should we be teaching young people long before their first job?
