Abstract
Despite the lack of empirical evidence to support generational differences in workplace training, some authors, corporate trainers, and popular theorists assert that generational stereotypes based on historical events and trends in the learners’ formative years are important. This article argues that it is better to train based on learner similarities across employee ages. It argues further that it is major economic shifts in the workplace that change what is needed from educational institutions and from workplace learning and development.
