    The Brutal Truth About the UK Job Crisis | Gen Z vs Leaders

    In this roundtable discussion, black senior leaders and Gen Z professionals sit down to dismantle the traditional narrative of career success. We explore the "job crisis" and ask a fundamental question: What is the current job market revealing about the society we are building, and who is it truly designed to work for? Join us as we bridge the generational gap, featuring voices from major institutions like the PwC, BBC, Chanel, HSBC, and Macquarie. Remember to Subscribe!
