To attract tech-savvy Gen Z and Gen Alpha, industries must redefine their image, showcasing innovation, sustainability, and the integration of AI and automation. Despite only 14% of Gen Z considering industrial careers, many seek meaningful work at tech-forward companies. A narrative shift is essential to highlight the positive impact of modern industrial practices on society and the environment.
