Y世代就业7大福星
斯科特•戈贝尔与瑞恩•鲍戈:打造创业联盟 机构:青年创业者理事会(Young Entrepreneur Council,YEC) 28岁的斯科特•戈贝尔承认,对于什么才是“正式的”工作,他也不甚了解。不过,他曾经写过与此相关的文章。他与合作伙伴、同样28岁的瑞恩•鲍戈都认为,其他千禧一代应该考虑放弃所谓真正的工作。于是,他们成立了青年创业者理事会,这个组织由500名四十岁以下的企业家组成,只有获得邀请方可加入,组织的宗旨是教育、指导和引导千禧一代加入创业大军。 据称,自2010年YEC成立以来,其联营公司,如在线社交力评定网站Klout、团购网站LivingSocial和大块头垃圾运输队(College Hunks Hauling Junk)等,创造的工作岗位已经达到20,000个。戈贝尔说:“我们需要在Y一代头脑中树立这样一种观念,即创业是一条可行的职业道路。与只比自己年长五岁、而且创业成功的前辈交流后,创业这条路就会变得更加真实、更触手可及,也更可信。” 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
Scott Gerber and Ryan Paugh Organization: Young Entrepreneur Council Scott Gerber, 28, admits that he doesn't know what it's like to have a "real" job. In fact, he wrote a book about it. He and business partner Ryan Paugh, also 28, think other Millennials should consider passing on so-called real work. The pair founded the Young Entrepreneur Council -- an invite-only organization of 500 entrepreneurs all under 40 -- to educate, mentor, and introduce Millennials to the startup world. YEC-affiliated companies like Klout, LivingSocial, and College Hunks Hauling Junk claim to have created 20,000 jobs since the organization was founded in 2010. "We need to establish that idea that entrepreneurship is a viable career path in the [Gen Y] psyche," argues Gerber. "When you're talking to someone who is only five years older than you, someone who has really done it, it seems a lot more attainable, relatable, and plausible." |
