Strengthening your employer brand for Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences

So how can employers best engage with this generation who are prioritising happiness, job satisfaction and an employer that aligns with their values?  

UCAS worked with an independent youth specialist market research agency to conduct an extensive survey of over 1,000 young people aged 13-17 to understand how they’re making their decisions for the future. We found out what they are planning, how they explore career pathways and what support they need to get there and when.

We’ll share unique insights from this research and recommendations on how to connect with the next generation. We’ll dig into the channels young people are using for information and inspiration about future career opportunities, and the types of content that resonate with them.
