Imagine working and learning differently

Currently, there are around 17 million members of Generation Z at work, and by the year 2030 it's estimated they will make up 30% of the total workforce. As career professionals, these are the young people you are preparing to enter the workforce, one that is still grappling with remote and hybrid work modalities, shifting economic realities, and lingering effects of burnout from COVID-19. As managers, these are the people you are charged with coaching and leading, from onboarding to achieving performance results, along with their more senior and experienced colleagues. It's a tall order for anyone.

Fortunately, there are tools you can use to do the work of management and career development more effectively, without burning yourself out. Mentorship strategies lead to better preparation, greater accountability, and deeper engagement for all employees. In this webinar, Allison McWilliams, Ph.D., will share how these tools are truly your career superpower.

Following this program, you will be able to:

Articulate the changes impacting the workplace for current and future employees;
Understand the challenges and barriers to engagement with Gen Z professionals; and
Be able to apply four mentorship tools that support better management and deeper employee engagement.

Is how we're supervising working learners actually working? Are we even prepared to supervise them? Delve into the latest research on working learner supervisors related to how they can best support students and the training gaps they experience in their education and professional development. The session will present findings from a comprehensive study that assessed student perceptions of supervisor support using a new Student Supervisor Support Measure, alongside an evaluation of supervisory training in higher education master's programs. Attendees will learn how to foster more supportive student-supervisor relationships and actionable steps to advance both personal and systemic improvements in supervisory practices. This interactive session will provide opportunities to share experiences and develop strategies for creating a more supportive and effective environment for working learners.

Join us for an engaging Work+Collective Community Call that highlights how institutions are transforming the student employment experience through impactful supervisor training.

Attendees will gain practical insights and actionable strategies to strengthen supervisor training initiatives and drive meaningful change on their campuses.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from peers, ask questions, and deepen your understanding of how empowering supervisors can elevate the student employment experience.
