The event will be held in Slovenian language.

The round table will explore the connection between approaches to upbringing, the psychological development of young people and their entry into the labour market. Particular attention will be given to Generation Z, who bring new values, expectations and ways of working into organisations. 

Through the perspectives of four outstanding guests – psychological, research-based, the experience of young people and organisational practice – the round table will open a discussion on:

• the challenges of entering the labour market,
• and how organisations and leadership need to adapt.
