Good morning! The Mentoring@Purdue Program (M@P) is holding the final workshop of the semester THIS MONTH! Bridging Generational Competence is on Wednesday, April 19th from noon - 1:00pm in Pfendler Hall room 241 with lunch provided. Please join us, along with Dr. Scott Downey, an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics, Quincy Clark, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Youth Development and Agricultural Education, and Casey Hooker, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, to dig deeper into the topic of generational competence. The multi-generational workforce requires generational competence and an age-friendly work environment that draws on the strengths of all generations. The ability to understand and accept generational differences facilitates the mutual respect and equity necessary to foster successful intergenerational relationships as co-workers and mentors. The overall goal of this workshop is to define generational competence and its role in age-diversity and mentoring. We will discuss the common characteristics of different generational groups and identify specific areas of difference to bridge, as well as commonalities to build upon, and outline strategies for developing generational competence and creating powerful intergenerational mentoring relationships. We hope to see you there!
