Youth's Occupational Preferences Are Changing

, and author of the book "Alas, CEO is Giving Birth", in his evaluation of university preference applications, reveals that the future of professions has changed, the perception of university graduation has changed in the world and that generation has reshaped with the Z generation. He said that there will be new trends in the business world that must be foreseen. Stating that trying to predict the future of professions and trying to predict the trends of the future would be a more meaningful effort, Murat Yeşildere said: “The issues such as the climate crisis, global epidemics, sustainable development, artificial intelligence and digital transformation and every profession that touches on these issues will gain priority. The development of technology and the growth of internet and mobile coverage areas facilitate access to information and reduce transportation costs. For this reason, knowledge, experience and competence in the coming period, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), Mobile applications (App), Data Science, Robots, 3-D Printers, Web Design, Wearable Technology, Network Management, Cloud (Cloud), Biomedical and Information Security areas with increased demand. Deepening the expertise of employees in new fields of work will be of great value in terms of professional knowledge and skill development. In this context, not only classroom trainings or books, but also online trainings with increasing interaction will be of great benefit. In addition to these, when we look at the near future, we see that the demand for all kinds of Engineering branches including Medicine, Law and Technology will continue.” · Emphasis will be placed on vocational training Yeşildere stated that it would be important to change the desire for general university graduation and obtaining a diploma in our country: “I consider it essential to manage the expectations of the society in this area. It would also be very valuable to expand vocational education through higher schools and vocational high schools. It will be a very valuable acquisition for the society, and especially the youth, to understand that quality education, knowledge and competence, and even more importantly, hope, rather than a university degree. Going further, it is as important as what education young people receive, where they receive education, who they are with, and from whom they learn. Let's not forget that especially universities and many other educational institutions are places where we 'learn to learn'. It will be of great benefit to give importance to language education as much as training for knowledge / function development. I believe that, in addition to English, mastery of Chinese and Spanish languages will be of great benefit in the world of the future.” It is important to learn the profession on the spot with internship Murat Yeşildere said that the applied learning process of anyone who will acquire a profession and that this person will be very important to increase their knowledge of the profession, said, "The internship period spent working in an institution will be an important criterion for starting a career journey in the future." University applications are declining in the United States Every year, approximately two million students in the United States "start life" by completing their undergraduate education at nearly 6 thousand different universities: During Covid, there was a much sharper decline. Last year (2022), only two-thirds (62%) of high school graduates enrolled in universities. The reason behind this decrease is evident in the results of a study by Gallup. About ten years ago, 74% of young people in the 18-29 age group stated that "having a university degree is very important", today this rate has dropped to 41%. Before trying to explain young people's perspectives on university undergraduate education in terms of generational differences and starting a "Generation Z fetish" again, it is necessary to interpret how the contribution of the diploma to their lives has changed. According to the studies carried out by the Burning Glass Institute in the past year, it is revealed that in about half (46%) of jobs that require intermediate skills, university education and diploma are no longer required; the same study concludes that in one-third (31%) of high-skilled jobs, the requirement for a university degree is meaningless. Before “labeling” these data as the results of just one research institution, it is necessary to consider the practical implications of the same data,” he emphasizes. Short-term certificate programs draw attention Yeşildere said that different studies conducted in the USA indicate that the practical skills that are gained and can be used immediately, as well as the university completed by the graduate with the diploma and the field of education, are met in the business world and employment decisions. and employers most they complain that new graduates come to the job market without having these practical skills. In this context, it seems that many universities in the USA are trying to respond to the demands of the market by creating shorter-term certificate and vocational training programs. I foresee that this practice will increasingly continue in Turkey as well.” Yeşildere stated that the ever-changing requirements of the increasingly complex business life make it necessary to change static decisions or business processes: “For this reason, two important factors will become a priority for those who are new to business life and those who will change jobs in the later stages of their careers. First of all, employers will want to hire flexible and high potential employees who can meet the needs of the future, not meet the needs of today. Secondly, the fact that individuals are curious and have learning agility will be at least as important as their technical knowledge and skills,” he added.
