missing out - and how to make up ground fast on the 20-something
employee development front.
We'd need these questions answered for the story
1. Do you agree or disagree that not prioritizing young
workplace talent is a missed opportunity for management. Why or
why not?

20-something team members? What's the downside, if any?
3. What are your best tips for developing young workers?
4. What are the biggest mistakes?
5, Is training and nurturing 20-something workplace talent
different from training established employees? If so, how so?
6. How do you know your training of young employees is taking
flight? Or failing?
7. What are the signs that a young staffer has the "right stuff"
and should be trained for management ASAP? What are the "wrong"
signs?
Thanks in advance . . .
Requirements:

professionals accustomed to training younger workers, corporate
