Unlocking the superpowers of Gen Z

The modern workforce is generally made up of four generations: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y (Millennials), and Gen Z (Centennials).

Each generation is shaped by their unique experiences, cultural touchstones, and the technological context in which they grew up.

This is an interesting time in the evolution of the Early Careers space as it is being influenced by evolving graduate and employer expectations and wider economic shifts, according to Sinead D’Arcy, founder of Future-Roots.

“The University of Limerick recently published their 2025 Early Careers Employer Survey which highlighted stabilising graduate recruitment activity, with 88% of employers expecting graduate vacancy levels to remain the same or to increase in 2025/26.”
