Manufacturing and the Younger Generations

Peggy and Michael Walton, industry solution executive, manufacturing industry, Microsoft, examine the differences between the generations—particularly millennial and Gen Z—and how they are impacting the manufacturing industry.

They also discuss:

• How Gen Z thinks differently about manufacturing than a millennial and some defining characteristics about each.
• The overabundance of free training, whether or not we are losing empathy with our remote mentorship and training, and what approach we should be taking.
• If workers today should need a four-year degree, and how training, mentorship, and proving yourself to a company should ultimately fit into the equation.
