WELCOME TO THE NEWGEN TALENT CENTRE WEBSITE!

Our latest studies
When surveyed while browsing a careers website, young candidates rank skills development and career progression ahead of pay among their key selection criteria and motivations. This is one of the key findings of this original study conducted by Radancy and EDHEC’s NewGen Talent Centre in 2025.
In a job market shaken by economic, geopolitical, and technological uncertainties, have young graduates revised their career aspirations? In 2023, the first edition highlighted a shift in professional ambitions. In this second edition, alumni associations sought to assess how young people’s aspirations and expectations have evolved. Was their education aligned with the requirements of their profession? Does their work provide them with professional fulfillment and personal satisfaction?
Tensions in the job market have not brought young graduates into line, and their relationship with work continues to challenge established norms. This study, conducted by JobTeaser and the EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre, sheds light on one of the major challenges of the coming years: understanding a generation that, far from being disengaged, is above all seeking work that is more authentic, more transparent, and more consistent with its aspirations.
