Adapting L&D for Gen Z

Friday 25th September 2026 | 10am BST

Gen Z is already reshaping your workplace. Is your L&D keeping up?

Digitally native employees think about work, growth and development differently to the generations before them. Most L&D teams haven’t adapted yet — and the gap is starting to show.

In this interactive session, Patrick Quinton-Smith and Zavier Coyne, co-founders of Gen Z Coach, unpack what’s really going on with Gen Z in the workplace, and what it means for how you support their development and careers.

Co-led by Adam Lacey, co-founder of Assemble You, you’ll come away with a sharper understanding of Gen Z, an honest look at your own L&D approach, and ideas you can take straight back to your team.

What you’ll walk away with

• A clear picture of what makes digitally native employees different, and why it matters for L&D
• A 5-part lens to audit your own L&D initiatives
• One concrete commitment to better meet the needs of digitally native employees
