Welcome to another episode of Gen Z in Manufacturing, a podcast that asks young people about their journeys in manufacturing, how they intend to influence the industry and what they are looking for from an employer.

For this episode, I welcome Xavier Gonzalez and Jesse Tabango, two HVAC students at Texas State Technical College. We recorded the conversation live at Fluke’s Thought Leadership Day during the company’s Xcelerate conference in Austin, Texas.  

In this episode, Gonzalez and Tabando discuss: 

• (:55) Aspects of skilled trades that attract young people

• (5:01) What surprises Gen Z at their first manufacturing job

• (7:12) How the Gen Z workforce wants to be trained

• (13:16) How young workers view growth and where they find a sense of purpose
