According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, Gen Z will comprise 27% of the global workforce. This should be good news for organizations looking for tech-savvy talent. After all, having grown up with smartphones and constant connectivity to the internet, Gen Z has a reputation for being a tech-literate generation, right? Unfortunately, Gen Z may be less equipped for the future of technical work than we think. The key reason is that traditional education is not preparing the new generation for a digitally-driven job market. A recent study from Dell, which surveyed 15,000 Gen Z members, found that 37% of them feel that schools are not adequately preparing them for the demands of a digital world. Furthermore, 56% have received minimal to no digital skills education.
