Training Generation "WHY" Professional Development
Lunch & Learn Web Event
Millennials are known for making everything shorter- "LOL" and "BFF" are just examples. So why, in a generation known for shortcuts, is it so difficult for us to train them? This session focuses on just that. Using a case study of management courses built solely utilizing social media, this session will explore how the training standards are being bent to accommodate the workplace’s most educated, yet fickle, generation. From understanding Millennial WIIFMs (What's In It For Me?) to how to develop training that incorporates their fast-paced culture, this session is sure to wow! Participants will walk away from this session with strategies and activities that can be implemented immediately, and a knowledge base of what Gen Y wants.
