We Are All Adults Here – Medium

Knoco stories: "Knowledge Worker" - an illustration and definition

Although there are a few interesting generational differences, these are certainly not significant enough to stereotype generational preferences – but there is one thing we need to keep sight of in all this – and that is everyone is different. But it is also clear from the results that informal, social as well as self-organised approaches are now the preferred means of learning for many, so this would suggest the need for L&D to adopt a new set of workplace learning practices that

Gradually, college will go back to what it always was: “a four year vacation funded by my parents” as one of my Northwestern students told me. But that means that only rich people will go to college. If and when college is made free, then you and I will be paying for their vacation. Kids who want jobs will go to bootcamps. (I sure hope they change that name.)
