One of the biggest complaints we hear from apprentices and trainees is the challenge they have in working with older ‘boring’ people.
 
Likewise, one of the biggest challenges in the workforce today is working across different generations. This guide will help you teach your child what to expect from other generations and how to create working relationships.
