Came upon this beautiful piece of corporate propaganda.

Sure, blame the kids. Not like that’s exactly what previous generations have done or anything. All I see here is more blame-shifting and passing the buck.
I mean it explicitly says it’s not Gen Z’s fault they don’t have the requisite training. They want to learn more than the rest of the population, there just aren’t good opportunities to learn the relatively niche skills.
I totally agree the article should have been written way better, and I question why it focuses on just gen z when a lack of sustainable talent seems like a multigenerational problem, but improving training being most critical for gen Z as they will be taking over more and more of the workforce in the oncoming years (critically during the window of opportunity to reverse more of the effects of climate change) makes sense to me
Maybe it was written by a Gen Z

I e been espousing #2 for years… Companies used to actually train and invest in their employees, now it’s all about poaching someone else from some other company rather than training and promoting within.
Oh. So the problem is the people who have been in the workforce all of two fucking years and who are likely so low ranking that they are nowhere in any position to make a difference even with their own work schedule.
Not the people who have been in charge for decades, dragging their feet, misleading, buying/funding shit candidates, gaming the market, and who still openly deny climate change.
Fuck outta here.
A green buildings designer might develop new environmentally friendly materials for construction projects,”
So instead of referencing the jobs that already exist, scientist, r&d, particularly materials scientists, or mentioning civil engineers, they made up an entirely new job and are shocked it doesn’t exist yet.
Corporate writers are incredibly out of touch.
As if you need to be highly educated to realise building more wind turbines would be better than burning coal?
What’s all this I hear about them lacking skills, is it true? Did they not have computer class in school, or mess around with computers when they were kids, installing games and shit? Making their own websites on geocities or whatever?
Geocities were gone before Gen Z was born. They were born after 2000 and grew up with tablets and apps. A Gen Z family member of mine learned about file folders from me after the age of 18.
Yeah, coding skills are the only relevant skills…especially for combating climate change…
Tech is pretty relevant to climate change. Technology experts are definitely not the only relevant people to it though, of course social/political experts are generally more important, considering the current state of capitalists’ handling of impending environmental catastrophe…
