Abstract

This research looks into what Generation Z (Gen Z) MBA graduates in Ahmedabad think about the corporate training programs their employers offer. As more Gen Z professionals enter the workforce, organizations must tailor their training efforts to match this new generation's learning preferences and career goals. Known for their comfort with technology, desire for ongoing learning, and focus on work-life balance, Gen Z wants training thatâ€™s personalized, engaging, tech-savvy, and relevant to real-world situations. This study aims to figure out how Gen Z assesses corporate training based on aspects like content, delivery methods, relevance to their careers, skill development, and long-term career growth.Using a survey-based approach, weâ€™ll gather data from MBA graduates of Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012) who have recently started working or completed internships. The research will delve into various factors, including learning preferences, the choice between online and in-person training, expectations from mentors and trainers, the inclusion of gamification, flexibility, feedback mechanisms, and support after training.The insights gained will be beneficial for HR managers, corporate trainers, and business leaders looking to create training programs that resonate better with Gen Z employees. By closing the expectation gap, organizations can not only boost employee satisfaction and retention but also enhance the return on investment for training initiatives. The study specifically concentrates on the MBA landscape in Ahmedabad, which is becoming a key centre for management talent in India.
