Today’s workplace is a mosaic of workers from different generations, cultures, genders and with varying experiences- each at a different point in the career life-cycle. BPW Foundation’s Young Careerist research project provides a framework through which to view the choices of Generations X and Y. Young careerists – as defined by BPW Foundation- includes individuals between the ages of 21 and 35.
Whether you are a young careerist, an employee with colleagues from Generations X or Y or an employer striving to capitalize on the strengths of younger employees, BPW Foundation’s research, articles, and resources will help you to learn more about the opportunities and challenges that this group of workers faces.
