For more than twelve years, the Centre has been committed to shedding light on academic and career guidance choices through rigorous surveys conducted with several thousand students.
The "Prépas" give rise to many debates, often shaped by external perceptions that can be far removed from students’ lived realities. In order to provide insights grounded in concrete experience, we directly surveyed students enrolled in preparatory classes on the questions most frequently asked by final-year secondary school students and their parents.

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.

More and more members of Generation Z are breaking with traditional career paths and refusing to take management positions. Shifting power dynamics and expanded civic ambitions are among the reasons why. Manuelle Malot and Geneviève Houriet Segard, respectively Director and Deputy Director of the EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre, unpack this trend.

The Gen Z Lab by JobTeaser and EDHEC's NewGen Talent Center have joined forces and carried out a major European study to decipher the latest trends in future careers of young talents.

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?

Young people's civic commitment has never been so strong: the new generations are wielding considerable influence, thanks to their individual and collective commitment. This new power has the potential to bring about major societal change, not only in the city, but also within companies.
This original study by the NewGenTalent Centre, a center of expertise on the professional aspirations of the new generations, confirms EDHEC's belief in the positive impact of the new generations on global issues.

Manuelle MALOT, Career Director and Director of the NewGen Talent Centre at EDHEC Business School, is the guest on the 'Pari Gagnant' podcast to discuss the major trends in recruiting young talent.
She presents the results of the latest study conducted by JobTeaser and EDHEC, inviting us to rethink GenZ recruitment in 2025.

The Gen Z Lab by JobTeaser and EDHEC's NewGen Talent Center have joined forces and carried out a major European study to decipher the latest trends in future careers of young talents.

In 2025, future graduates view their first job as a transitional step, with an ideal duration of only 18 months. This is one of the main trends emerging from the study 'Early Career: What Future Graduates Want in 2025,' conducted by JobTeaser and the EDHEC NewGen Talent Centre among 6,000 future graduates. The results reflect their positive yet realistic view of the workplace, as well as their quest for flexibility.

EDHEC's centre of expertise publishes the 4th edition of the NewGen NewJob' barometer on the challenges of the first job.
The study reveals what will matter in 2025 in the career choices of young graduates. This generation, in search of meaning and balance, is redefining the relationship at work and pointing to the company's responsibility for the mental well-being of its employees.
