After just several years in the labour market, millennials have already earned a reputation for being lazy, unprofessional, and entitled in the workplace.

Despite these stereotypes, Gen Y is the most educated and most diverse generation in history, and also the first to have more women than men obtain postsecondary education credentials.

Participants of the workshop will explore what it means to be a millennial, and will share in some of the lessons Madison Zuppa has learned about being a successful young professional in the workplace.

In addition to the workshop, a networking opportunity that will encourage dialogue amongst participants regarding their workplace dynamics and how to improve employee engagement will also be offered.

This event is sponsored by The Fish Chicks!

Their philosophy is a set of work/life practices created by ChartHouse Learning, designed to improve workplace culture and team performance.
