Work-integrated learning programs prepare organizations on how to access the next generation of talent. University Relations - Dr. David Drewery is the associate director of the Work-Learn Institute - a research, education and consulting unit at the University of Waterloo that advances work-integrated learning programs for employers and higher education institutions. His current research investigates how employers can connect with Gen Z's work values to attract and retain talent through work-integrated learning programs. We asked Drewery how Gen Z can help create equitable and resilient economies in the future. Opinion by Dr. David Drewery Worldwide, four out of five employers struggle to find talented people. This is a massive problem for the global economy because it means organizations need more talent to solve complex problems. When asked about the drivers of this problem, many employers point to "Gen Z", the generation born after 1997.
