What European future graduates want in 2025 ?

Editorial

Every year, hundreds of thousands young higher education graduates enter the job market. Between the desire for personal fulfillment and the quest for meaning, they are constantly redefining work standards and codes. If their expectations are sometimes complex, their vision of the corporate world is positive but uncompromising: both collaborative but vertical or even captivating but also stressful. Implicitly, it is also a profoundly new concept of career that is emerging based on movement! Future graduates are considering their first position in the short term, already anticipating changes in profession, sector or even a complete reorientation. Is it a fear of commitment or simply a necessary adaptability in the face of a world more uncertain?

Far from caricatures, our study paints the portrait of a generation which does not turn away from business but on the contrary pushes it to reinvent itself. A generation that offers employers who will listen a unique opportunity to rethink their model to remain attractive and competitive.

Happy reading,
