Young Graduates' Career Aspirations Shift

Sud Radio Paris 13d12d Impact 8

French livestock farmers, grain growers, and beekeepers expressed concerns that the Mercosur-EU trade agreement will flood the market with cheaper products. The agreement's entry into force is expected to impact up to 30,000 people initially. Specific examples include 99,000 tonnes of beef produced using growth hormones prohibited in the EU for nearly 50 years. Concerns were also raised regarding poultry produced with banned antibiotics and plant productions such as corn, soy, and sugar. In May 2022, graduates from AgroParisTech publicly criticized career paths, a sentiment that spread to other top French schools like Polytechnique, HEC, and Mines Paris. A subsequent survey of 2,000 graduates from 16 elite business and engineering schools found that 38% were motivated by general interest and the utility of their mission, compared to 5% fifteen years prior.

This represents a increase from 15 years ago, when only 5% of graduates per cohort were similarly engaged, according to Manuel Malo, the director. A study indicates that among young graduates, the proportion seeking entrepreneurial roles has decreased by 7 points over four years. Competitively-minded, career-oriented profiles have risen by 5 points. Over 60% of highly educated young people believe AI will significantly alter their professions, with 12% fearing obsolescence. More than two-thirds feel inadequately trained for AI. The desire for a useful contribution to society remains a secondary objective, indicating that the search for meaning has not vanished but is cited less frequently.
