Young British adults are increasingly setting their career sights on purpose-driven professions that aim to solve the world’s biggest societal and environmental issues according to a new study. The research reveals that new and emerging roles such as Virologist (48%) Sustainable Fashion Designer (40%) and Accessible Architects (35%) are among the roles that get Gen-Z’s excited as they turn away from roles their parents aimed for in favour of jobs that help improve the world.
The research study of 2,000 young people aged between 16 and 25 was commissioned by Samsung UK to mark the re-launch of their Solve for Tomorrow initiative for 2023. The programme aims to champion young people and their ideas on using tech for good to solve society’s issues along four pillars: Sustainability, Education, Diversity Equality and Inclusion, and Social Isolation.
