Three-quarters of students and recent graduates in Yorkshire and the Humber feel that emotional rewards in their future career are equally – or more important – than practical ones.
New research released yesterday, 29 November, shows that millennials, the newest entrants to the job market, are looking for personal fulfilment in their careers with 60 per cent wanting to feel their job is worthwhile.
The survey of over 3,000 students and graduates, for the national Get Into Teaching campaign, found that this generation are motivated by altruistic goals with 47% in Yorkshire and the Humber wanting to make a positive contribution to society.
The campaign claims the research found that this demographic views teaching as a career positively with two-thirds feeling that being a teacher would provide more daily emotional rewards than most other careers.
