For them to be able to:
1. To be vocal on their needs. While they are determined to grab opportunities in life
or in a job they should be mentored on how to express their needs for their career
advancement (Parsloe & Leedham, 2009). They should be eager, determined and
ready to inquire from their mentors what they need to know about their career
needs. This will help them develop and grab opportunities they look for.
2. To help them take ownership in creating their opportunities. According to America
SBDC Network and Center for Generational Kinetics, 49 percent of millennials
believe that the ultimate way to succeed is to be in charge at work. This percentage
plans to start their businesses in three years with 62 percent of them reported
having had an idea of what companies they would want to start (Parsloe &
Leedham, 2009). This means that across the world so many people with
entrepreneurial spirit and are eager to find help on how to build their dream
enterprises.
3. To help them feel significant and confidence when facing new opportunities. We
are living in times of massive uncertainty in a global world where everything keeps
constantly changing, and the idea of being a hero or public figure seems old-
fashioned like $20 CD. Millennials have reason to trust institution or even the
employers as well. Today according to Lauren, which is true, millennials are
changing their career path every day and even their industry as opposed to a few
decades ago. They need someone to direct them as they pursue their daily
aspirations.
4. To challenge their thinking and mentor them through work relationship. Since our
parent trained us to have a desire to make it in life no matter what, or to be
unique, or to be uniquely different, we have now to learn how to be as real as life
itself. This origin subconsciously makes us expect constant feedback. Studies have
shown that millennials were raised with constant coaching, measuring systems and
heavy structural emphasis, and feedback.
Yes, I agree. I agree with Lauren that Millennials need mentors because the outside world is too
slow compared to life in school. To adapt they need someone to guide, inspire, challenge, and
help them to be vocal on what they need(Schwartz & Rhodes, 2016). The life outside of school is
tough and can depress. As many millennials think that being into leadership positions is best for
them, they need to be guided on how to be patients with their dreams, and how to build their
enterprises.
