Employee growth & career development
summary
Panel summarizes a survey of 10,000 students showing two-thirds self-taught with YouTube and Stack Overflow as top sources, and professional growth as the leading job criterion (US students prefer work-life balance). Managers are urged to run POCs, hire to bring missing skills, spend half their interview emphasis on core “soft” skills, match individual growth goals to team needs, and coach toward strengths while fixing blockers; advice includes pacing career and preserving health.
