Generation Z and Soft Skills Needed in European Companies
Original language description
Businesses of all sizes constantly react to changes, communicate with stakeholders, and solve problems, all to keep their competitiveness. Therefore, developing employees‘ soft skills is still necessary. Using literature research and analysis of data from the European Continual Vocational Training Survey (CVTS), the paper presents findings on what competencies regarding companies‘ needs are essential for European enterprises. Moreover, this article focuses on the perspective of the young Generation Z on the importance of soft skills in a business environment. A pilot survey with 84 respondents presents the attitude of Generation Z towards competencies and soft skills needed in European companies. The main goal of this article is to compare firms‘ and their potential Generation Z employees‘ expectations of soft skills needed in the European enterprise context. Using comparative methods of primary and secondary data reveals the companies‘ view and the view of potential Generation Z employees on soft skills training and development in European organisations.
