Who We Are: Today's Students Speak Out
Blandford, Ayoka
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J3), v87 n5 p22-25 May 2012
Today's students have been nicknamed the "Digital Generation," "Millennials," "Net Generation" and "Generation Next." They are frequently identified by their technological prowess and seem to work well with multiple stimuli (for example, designing a web site while listening to iTunes and responding to texts). While many research studies have been conducted to understand their motivations and how to retain them in the workplace, seldom do such studies include first-hand accounts. This article presents an interview with students who are currently serving as officers for several career and technical student organizations (CTSOs): (1) Sarah Nichols; (2) Clayton Bradshaw; (3) David Kelly; (4) Sean Sheffer; and (5) Lyndsay Robinson. In this interview, the students tell who they are, what they need and what is important to them, and give upcoming students advice.
