Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview of generational attributes for Generations X and Y and how they impact workplaces. It introduces The Global Co-Operative and Work-Integrated Education Charter that calls for the scaling up of work integrated programs around the world in recognition of their unique potential for bridging gaps between academia and the world of work and positively impacting the multiple generations working therein. More specifically, the charter positions international work-integrated learning as a particularly effective educational approach for developing the critical understandings, insights, and attitudes needed to effectively navigate the multigenerational and multicultural workplaces that typify our increasingly borderless world of work.
