Twentysomethings in Training
The younger workers who will assume the leadership roles left
vacant by retiring baby boomers are independent, highly motivated
and educated, and technology savvy. They also have entirely

They crave challenge and aim to work faster and better than their

profession, T+D surveyed more than 450 young workplace learning and
performance professionals about their current work and future

years, the U.S. workforce is projected to grow at approximately
one-third of its current overall rate. That means that younger
workers in the WLP field soon will reach management positions. And
the more that industry professionals know about this new group of
colleagues, the better equipped they will be to coexist with them.
