Gen Z and the Future of Work: Exploring Career Aspirations and Expectations among Margherita College Students”
Description
The study examines the career aspirations, preferred employment sectors, workplace expectations, employability confidence, and participation in internships and skill-development activities among undergraduate students of Margherita College, Assam. Based on 96 usable survey responses, the paper offers institution-specific empirical evidence from North-East India and discusses implications for higher-education institutions, employers, and policymakers. The manuscript contributes to discussions on the future of work by highlighting the importance students place on career development, positive work culture, job security, and work-life balance, alongside gaps in digital and AI-related skills and early practical exposure. The findings may be of interest to readers concerned with youth career development, employability, higher education, and changing labour-market expectations.
