Small Business Milwaukee ThinkTank | November 11, 2021 Recap
Topic: Building Your Business to Attract Gen Z
Tonight’s ThinkTankers discussed building your business to attract Gen Z. It is said Gen Z would be a good age to lean towards if you are building your business and recruiting.. because of the way the workforce is changing.

The discussion began with what “Gen Z” is defined as and moved into how and why we want to build our businesses to attract that generation.
Tracy Champagne
“Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation, born between 1997 and 2012. They are currently between 9 and 24 years old (nearly 68 million in the U.S.)”
“Baby Boomers , Generation x stay in one job usually”
“I think that as small business owners who looking to expand based on the gen z logic, should start targeting these younger kids and it might be a new trend that people coming out of high school will be looking at opening up a small business instead of going to college”
Kim Knaak
“Today there are 1.5 job openings for every unemployed person.”
“#CollaborationNOTCompetition”
“You can replace people with automation, but what happens when that automation goes down, breaks or is no longer available. Will you have the staff with the ability and knowledge to do the “thing” without the automation? Who holds the knowledge – the company (business owners, employees, management) or the automation?”
Caryn Willens
“In middle school we had an assignment to decide on a career and research it by interviewing someone in that career, then do a report on it.”
