Twenty percent of Millennials are Hispanic, 14 percent African American. Sadly, the dire unemployment rate is even higher for them. Half of Gen Y blacks and a third of Hispanics 18-24 are unemployed. This talk will cover Shannon Fitzgerald's basic tenets for navigating the difficult post-college road ahead as well as the unique roadblocks minorities face as they try to forge careers in the modern-day depression.
From the perennial "having it all" debate to the destructive "frenemy" dynamic, this talk is geared toward Millennial girls and the gender-specific dilemmas they face. Additionally, Shannon Fitzgerald will cover her basic tenets for navigating the difficult post-college road ahead, arming them with the actionable tools and advice they'll need to be successful as they begin to enter the workforce.
There are 81,000 Millennials roaming the planet, making them the largest generation in history. One in two college graduates are either jobless or underemployed, while one in eight will have to move back home post-graduation. So how is this incredibly bright, optimistic, but overly coddled and entitled generation going to make those often unrealistic dreams of instant fame and fortune a reality when they can barely get an unpaid internship? They're gonna need some help.
The world they've inherited is a tough and scary place, one that is not likely to turn them into the next Zuckerberg or Kardashian like they think it will. And who said everyone is destined for the spotlight anyway? This talk is tough love with a soft glove. It will cover Shannon Fitzgerald's success roadmap for Generation Y, one that aims to close the gap between what they thought the real world was going to be like and what they'll actually need to do in order to attain the life and career that's perfect for them.
Together we'll tackle the things that plague this generation most, including fear of failure, entitlement, technology overload, why having a great work ethic and paying dues are essential ingredients for success, how to find a career that is in line with their true passions, and how to thrust that into an action plan that will jump start their careers.
