Trailer: Generation Z; A post-covid lost generation?

Life does not look rosy for many young people. In a series of three podcasts, Vince Cable interviews experts in education and business to understand the damage covid has done to their prospects.  Post-Covid, we have a generation/age cohort which has missed out partially - or even completely - on over a year’s education and training. They have been thrown into the labour market without completing exams or training courses, a labour market frozen by the pandemic with entry-level opportunities drastically reduced.  This comes on top of a trend of less stable employment, contracting apprenticeships, accelerating technological change, more expensive post school education and training, and an overall ‘pinch’ on the young generation relative to Millennials and older people.  To find out more about Vince, go to www.vincecable.org Follow him on Twitter: @vincecable Produced by Podcast.co
