Gen Y Fast Track

More than 78 million U.S. baby boomers are poised for retirement, and 54% of workers ages 45 and older will leave the workforce in the next 10 years. In addition, the annual growth rate of the U.S. workforce is expected to slow to .06% throughout the next few decades. Industries that require workers with specific skill sets – including finance, accounting, health care, science and technology and engineering – will feel the pinch most acutely. The Gen Y Fast Track (GYFT) is a highly scalable internship, rotation, and mentorship program tailored directly to the needs and desires of Generation Y employees.
