This workshop is designed to help participants develop insight into the
shared social, political, cultural and
economic influences of the four generations that comprise today’s
current and future (i.e. undergraduate and
graduate educational programs) work force, and undergraduate and
graduate educational programs.
These shared influences helped create common biases and core beliefs
that translate into the learning, work and
communication styles unique to the four generations. Learning to
appreciate the differences and how they can be
applied to various situations will enhance our personal and
professional experiences.
The 3.0 hour workshop will include lecture, discussions, questions,
activities and assessment.
Learning objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be
able to define the four generations;
analyze the value-influencing societal contexts; identify challenges in
the field placement and work setting; and
examine strategies for improved understanding
