Millennials (b. 1980-1995) now comprise nearly 100% of the Active Component (AC) NCO (E5-E8) and middle officer ranks (O2-05).

Millennials and Gen Z in the Military: Cultural and Generational Trends
This seminar focuses on instilling and discussing a basic, but thorough, understanding of current intergenerational issues and opportunities within the military and/or Special Operations Forces (SOF). It provides an overview of the core strengths, needs, and goals of the Millennial generation (b. 1980-1995) and Generation Z (b. 1996-2010). It delves into the powerful societal and technological influences contributing to the development of these generations and considers implications for military leadership. Millennials and Gen Z in the Military: Teams and Leadership This seminar looks at generational views on authority, work ethic, and communication. Essential factors for effective multigenerational teams will be presented. Leadership definitions and expectations have changed dramatically over the past decade. These changes will be discussed, and key strategies for intergenerational engagement and leadership considered. Teaching and Training Generation Z This seminar focuses on moving beyond a basic understanding of current intergenerational issues and opportunities within the military and/or Special Operations Forces (SOF). Short attention spans, addiction to technology, and lack of interpersonal skills are a few of the descriptors used to describe Gen Z (b. 1996-2010) today. As society changes, we are experiencing dramatic differences in how young people engage the world. Blended and collaborative classrooms, redesigned learning spaces, and emerging technologies are just a few of the factors influencing how instruction occurs today. As we train younger troops, it is often necessary to adopt new methods and perspectives as we engage an unique type of learner. This session will look at current trends in learning and present strategies for training and equipping Generation Z.

Recruiting the Next Generation of Soldiers
This seminar is focused on attracting Generation Z military and civilians into a Special Operations Forces career. Millennials (b. 1980-1995) now comprise a large majority of military service men and women and Generation Z (b. 1996-2010) is beginning their careers. Roughly 70% of young people (Gen Z) today indicate that they want to be entrepreneurs, using their skills to do something meaningful outside of a traditional institutional context. So, how can the military engage and attract this tech-savvy, creative, and diverse generational cohort? This program will present an overview of Generation Z traits and values. Attendees will learn practical strategies for communicating and connecting with young people as they seek to recruit qualified individuals to serve in the military, and/or in a more focused way in Army Special Operations Forces. Tech-Smart Parenting and Families (for FRG audiences) This seminar presents tips for managing our use of technology to keep our kids and families safe, healthy, and connected. While the impact of technology is seen everywhere in society, its influence is perhaps most significant in our homes and families. As parents, we are navigating new terrain as we seek to guide our children in their use of devices, manage our own screen time, and respond effectively to the prevalence of technology in our workplaces, schools, social circles and beyond. This seminar will present essential practices for parents in developing a healthy family culture as it relates to technology, managing our own use of devices, and setting effective guidelines to ensure physical, emotional, mental and relational health for those in our care. Today’s Global Youth Culture: Trends, Values and Worldviews This seminar is focused on understanding an operational military context. For the first time in history, we are seeing the emergence of a global youth culture, where teens and young adults around the world have more in common with one another than with adults in their own cultures and contexts. This session presents a broad overview of the significant cultural, technological, and structural shifts occurring in American and global societies, and how they are influencing the worldviews of various generations. It provides understanding for those working with younger generations in international and domestic contexts. In an operational military context, this indicates that the interpersonal, social and political issues we experience here at home are at least similar or identical to the problems other societies are facing, including those of our partner nations and states and regions we engage operationally as friends, neutrals or foes. |
