Generation Z

Not too long ago the world was all about how to reach and educate Millenials. But there's a new celebrity in town: Generation Z. Also known as iGen and Centennials, Gen Z are those born between 1996 and 2012. With this, it means that the oldest Gen Z are finishing college and ready to enter the workforce. Each generation is inclined to have its own unique attributes and characteristics but Gen Z has one that makes them stand out from previous generations: they were raised with the internet and technology just at their fingertips. Colleges all over the world are confronting this predicament as population shifts move us further away from the 18- to the 22-year-old group that once described the typical college student. Today, the population of learners who are older than 25 is multiplying faster than the common college-age group, a rush predicted to continue. Adding professional development and pursuing education programs to the mix, the age diversity expands wider. With this, schools are still adjusting and adapting as to how they can provide and meet the needs of this generation, considering that they were not inclined with the traditional ways of teaching. Schools, especially higher education, must know how they can adjust to teaching the Gen Z students effectively. With this, schools must go digital and think digital. This book can be anyone's guide in knowing the basics of what to expect from a tech-savvy, literate Gen Z individual. It shows the statistics and opinions concerning the thoughts of Gen Z when entering higher education, and what one can do to adapt and meet their needs for a better, productive, and a certain future ahead of them.
