Adapting Student Career Development for the Gen Z Era

Pressure continues to mount for higher education to do more to enhance students’ post-graduation outcomes. Specifically, university leaders must recognize that Gen Z students considering whether to enroll in higher-ed are increasingly concerned about “life success,” which includes traditional measures like job security but also fulfillment and an overall sense of thriving.
