Manaus (AM) — A recent analysis conducted by United Minds, an organization specialized in monitoring scenarios and promoting humanization in business, revealed a growing trend: the hiring of young people to occupy leadership positions in large companies. Based on the data compiled, it appears that generations Y, born between 1981 and 1996, and Z, from 1997 onwards, are taking on prominent roles in various organizations around the world.

According to United Minds, this trend reflects a growing appreciation of youth and their unique skills, especially in the digital context, which has become crucial to the success of contemporary businesses. The ability of young people to navigate and innovate in this environment has been recognized as an asset for companies looking to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

In 2022, Gabriel Valadares started his journey at Yduqs as a trainee, eager to learn and contribute. The challenges were constant, but each obstacle represented an opportunity for growth.

“Throughout the year, I developed skills, built solid relationships and excelled in challenging projects. In 2023, an incredible opportunity arose to lead as a diversity and inclusion coordinator, as well as in talent management. The transition from trainee to leader was challenging, especially as a young person taking on a prominent position. However, I realized the importance of having a solid support network. Colleagues, mentors and friends have been instrumental in my success, providing guidance, constructive feedback and encouragement,”

points.

On the other hand, professor Samara Felipe, from Wyden’s business course, highlights that, although the rise of young professionals is commendable, it is essential to highlight the importance of continuous educational improvement.

“Graduation is just the first step, and investing in specializations, participating in events and building networks are essential requirements for a successful long-term career,” he said.

In the academic context, Carina Magri, a professor at Wyden, committed to training professionals prepared for market challenges, emphasizes the importance of the role of teachers in preparing future business leaders.

As the expert highlights, educators play a crucial role as trainers of critical thinking and professionals capable of entering the job market effectively. To this end, the institution offers resources such as the Psychopedagogical Support and Assistance Center (NAAP), which promotes various events and services to enrich the teaching-learning process and facilitate interaction between teachers and students.

“During my trainee project, I had contact with several teachers where I had many exchanges and learned the true importance of my work — concern for the student. I also learned that effective leadership is not just about individual skills, but also about the ability to cultivate and nurture meaningful relationships within and outside the organization. This experience taught me to value diversity, promote inclusion and recognize the importance of a united team to achieve common goals,”

emphasized Gabriel.
