Gen Z
Creative

Gen Z Creative: Today's Gen Z consumers are increasingly turning to platforms, services and spaces that expand their worldviews and skills, but without the constraints of traditional schooling. Everything from photography programs to financial literacy courses allow them to better hone skills that they aren't often exposed to in the education system.

Gen Z's willingness to stray from traditional educational norms comes from two main sources. The first of these is that their exposure to political and social issues has made them critical thinkers from a young age, and so they're more likely to explore learning options that don't box them in, and are inclusive. The second source is their social media habits, where things like technical skills and creativity are celebrated between peers--giving Gen Z more motivation to hone skills and hobbies for the sake of enjoyment and sharing, rather than promotion and employment.
