In the future, Gen Z may not necessarily work in a company or any organization; they can still find jobs online from home, and equipping themselves with transitional skill sets will help them adapt regardless of the field they choose to study.”
That was the advice from speaker Cristy Grover, Head of Partnership Development Unit – Asia Pacific at Sommet Education, to the TDSers of Scholarship Hunters Club at the “Professions and Employment Opportunities for Gen Z in the Experience Economy” workshop.
To answer the question “What is your dream profession?” TDSers were exposed to insights on how to choose a desired career in the modern 4.0 society. Dr. Cristy Grover stated, “Generation Gen Z is particularly “individualistic” compared to the Millennial generation; they do not want to be confined, they want to take control and have great ambitions.”
Therefore, transitional skillsets are essential for them to adapt to any new circumstances or jobs. Some skills that Gen Z should acquire include goal-setting skills, problem-solving skills, leadership skills, and more.
The speaker also emphasized to TDSers the importance of exploring professions that can leverage a common set of skills, such as Hotel Management, Marketing, Human Resources Management, Business Administration, and more.
At The Dewey Schools, students learn through innovative educational approaches: Design Thinking, Project-Based Learning, Inquiry-Based Learning, and Experiential Learning. This enables TDSers to acquire all the necessary skills on their journey towards realizing their dream careers.
