2. Look beside you

3. Look at the table next
to you

4. Gen Y is in the room

5. Today we will look at...
• What is radical inclusion?
• 1. How are we radically including students?
• 2. How are we radically including Gen Y
staff

6. Radical inclusion
is...
bringing Gen Y to the core of what we do
and how we do it

7. We work "with"
each other
not “for” each other or
“by” each other

8. Work “for”
• We survey our students or staff
• We incorporate some of their feedback

9. Work “by”
• We give our staff and students limited
direction
• We do not offer support and expertise to
guide their outcomes

10. Radical Inclusion...
• Combines the vision from our students
with the expertise of our staff to develop
concrete outcomes
• Combines the talents of Gen Y with
freedom and support to achieve outcomes
for the organization

11. Lens of Gen Y Students
• At your table...
• Identify examples from your career centres
or organizations where you have included
or radically included students at the core of
what you do

12. Radical Inclusion is
not...
• When students are regarded as passive recipients or as
empty vessels to be filled with knowledge.
• When the contributions of students are minimized or
tokenized by asking students to “rubber stamp” our ideas
• When we invite students to sit on committees without real
power or responsibility.
• When student perspectives, experiences or knowledge are
filtered with our interpretations.
• When students are given problems to solve without
adequate support or training
“Meaningful Student Involvement: Guide to Students
as Partners in School Change” - Adam Fletcher

13. Radical Inclusion is...
• When students are allies and partners in improving our
work
• When students have the training and authority to create
real solutions to real challenges
• When student - staff partnerships are a major
component of sustainable, responsive, and systemic
approaches to transforming our operations
“Meaningful Student Involvement: Guide to Students
as Partners in School Change” - Adam Fletcher

• Attention all - Gen Y staff -
• What natural strengths do we bring to the
workplace?

24. “Their culture of collaboration is taking root in the
workplace and already beginning to create a new
corporate meritocracy that is sweeping away the
hierarchical silos in its path and connecting internal
teams to a wealth of external networks”
- Chris Rasmussen – Blogger
