Based on my experience working with a good number of Gen Z folks, now that they are entering the work force, I think employers and trainers need to know that many in Gen Z did not receive any tech training in school. While most Millennials (many who are now in management) had some level of computer classes to teach basic computer operation, word processing, typing, and spreadsheets, lots of schools just cut those classes for Gen Z assuming they got it at home. At the same time, Gen Z largely transitioned to touch-based devices with app based ecosystems. To the extent they had more traditional computer access, most experienced Chromebooks which are an entirely different beast.

Now they are entering offices using predominantly Microsoft and Adobe products and they are expected to just have the core computer competencies, with the assumption someone taught them before because they are young and of course they have tech skills. If you are in a position to train younger folks on the core competencies of your job, do so with awareness that you may be the first person to show them how to do things in Word or Excel. You may be the first one to show them the tricks you know about how to make your work computer do what you need it to do. Have patience as they type poorly, and offer tips on how they can improve. They will learn and they will do so far faster than you can imagine, but you need to give them the training. Do so, with kindness and compassion knowing that skills were assumed, not taught.

Example of an ableist training program: the ‘problem’ employee in the case scenario is the one who follows rules and procedures and struggles with reading social cues. The ‘problem’ employee struggles with reading facial expressions. They’re portrayed as a bad person who never improves their behaviour, tact or compassion. Reading social cues and facial expressions can be taught be therapists who specialise in treating neurodivergent people.

The model employee in the case scenario is portrayed as a neurotypical person.

Please don’t interact with me if you disagree with this.
