Millennials in the Education Workplace

Millennial Workers Seek Reform in Education Industry

It's my personal opinion that one of the Millennial Generation's greatest strengths is its optimism that business and government can influence global change. The generation that voted for "Hope," "Change," and "Yes We Can" really does believe in innovation.

Interestingly, Millennials employed in the education sector--where calls for reform are constant--consider educational institutions to be the least innovative. The Millennials in this survey say that collaborative practices are outdated in school districts, colleges, and universities, where Millennials are obstructed from sharing and implementing ideas. 

My favorite takeaway from this survey is that Millennials, the "Me Me Me Generation" who rank smartphones more important than deodorant, actually prefer face-to-face brainstorming in order to share ideas.
