Research by Deutsche Telekom reveals that Gen Z feel increasingly anxious about their future
Project Futureproof is a platform that aims to uncover the skills of young people they do not know they have

Deutsche Telekom’s Project Futureproof, backed by seven-time GRAMMY award winner Billie Eilish, aims to leverage digital optimism to enable a successful future for the next generation – Gen Z.

Project Futureproof is a support platform that has been developed to demonstrate the huge potential of Gen Z, uncover skills of young people and help them to identify future careers. It has been developed in collaboration with both Gen Z contributors and a group of professional skills & employability experts

“The future feels uncertain”, says Billie Eilish, “but I’m always inspired by what our generation is able to achieve in the face of so many different challenges.”

In a post-pandemic world, there are many uncertainties the next generation are facing; culturally, socially & economically. A research conducted by Deutsche Telekom with a sample size of 4,000 young people aged 16 to 26 shows that 61% of European Gen Z are anxious about their future job and career prospects. 54% are unsure what careers will exist in the future, with 43% saying they are unsure if they have the qualities they need to succeed.

Gen Z is stepping into a world of work that will be fundamentally changed by both the Covid-19 pandemic and the digital transformation.

That is why a free-to-access digital tool has been developed to help Gen Z better understand and make the most of their potential. This tool identifies key trends and changes in the world and helps young people learn how to make the best use of their personal passions, skills and talents for their professional development.

Along with the tool,a ‘Project Futureproof’ online hub also features helpful tips for writing CVs, preparing for job interviews and improving your social media profile.

This is a continuation of Deutsche Telekom's collaboration with Billie Eilish. In 2020, the campaign shined a light on the power and potential of connected technology in the hands of young people.

Project Futureproof is the next phase of Deutsche Telekom's mission to support Generation Z and enable them to equally participate in social, economic and cultural life.
