Rethinking careers: Gen Z and the future of accountancy

Date: May 13, 2021 | Time: (UTC)

COMPLETED

In the wake of an extraordinary 2020, we asked 9,000 members of Generation Z (age 18-25) about the issues that give them most concern right now. What do they want from their careers? What are they worrying about? What attracts them to organisations? What do they think about business?

This webinar will explore the implications for employers, managers and anyone who works with Gen Z, using insights drawn from roundtables around the world.

Report authors, Jamie Lyon from ACCA and Gabby Kusz from the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) will be joined by Fatima Baig, Financial Controller of Network Rail to give the employer viewpoint, and Rochelle Moras, an ACCA affiliate, representing Gen Z.

It will also share considerations for younger people themselves on how to navigate their careers as the workplace transforms, ahead of another event aimed specifically at Gen Z in June.

Speakers:

  • Jamie Lyon, Portfolio Lead - Professional Insights, ACCA
  • Gabby Kusz, Principal for Strategic Initiatives, International Federation of Accountants (IFAC)
  • Fatima Baig, Financial Controller, Network Rail
  • Rochelle Moras, ACCA affiliate
  • Chris Quick, Director - Brand and Corporate Reputation, ACCA

The event is also available on Thursday, May 20 at 3:30 AM ET.
