The Great Resignation
In 2021 America witnessed resignations of record proportions, resulting in what we now refer to as the
Great Resignation. During that time over 47 million Americans chose to quit their jobs. What caused this
mass exodus? The answer is multifaceted. But ultimately what it comes down to is worker
dissatisfaction. People are not happy with their jobs.
From “relocating” to “reshuffling”, in 2021 workers decided to reshape their lives by searching for
employment options that they found fulfilling. This meant leaving behind inflexible work hours and low
wages for more auspicious positions at other companies that prioritize the health and happiness of their
employees.
This need to “reshuffle” could be avoided if future workers were provided with access to additional
education and job opportunities as students. This would increase the likelihood of prospective
employees finding their preferred employment earlier in life. This is where L8NX aims to help.
Focus on the Future
Confucius once said that “a man who does not plan long ahead will find trouble at his door.”
The same can be said of our youth. L8NX Junior Entrepreneurs program exists to help parents
and children adequately prepare for the future ahead.
By enrolling your child into the L8NX Junior Entrepreneurs program your child will have access
to an ever-expanding global network of employers, mentors, and peers. These L8NX-associated
businesses offer exclusive summer jobs and internship positions to our junior members with
profiles listed in their corresponding business categories.
In addition to having access to exclusive job opportunities and mentorship opportunities, L8NX
Junior Entrepreneurs members’ profile pages function as digital resumes that can be shared
anywhere and viewed by potential Employers. These digital resumes should be updated and
expanded upon regularly as you would a traditional resume.
It is our goal to help parents prepare children for adulthood by teaching them now the skills
necessary to both compete and collaborate in a global market. By gaining work experience,
interning, networking, and learning to craft and maintain a resume, it is our hope that our Junior
Entrepreneurs will enter the global workforce as adults fully equipped to find employment in
their desired professions.
Start Planning Today
The American monthly workforce quit rate has been on a steady incline for over a decade. As
mental health becomes a larger focus in society, and we learn more about the ills associated with workplace dissatisfaction it is likely that worker retention will continue to be an issue. That is why it is imperative that we make the necessary changes to build a healthier and happier workforce. This starts with expanding upon our youth’s ability to seek higher education and
access the career fields they truly desire.
Encourage your child to start dreaming of their profession today when you sign them up for
L8NX. By setting your child’s business category, you will make their profile easily accessible to
local businesses looking for potential interns like your child. Additionally, you may use our site
to search for nearby training opportunities and mentors, host your digital resume, network with
peers, and the like.
As Warren Buffet once stated, “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted
a tree a long time ago.” Let us plant and nourish the trees that will sustain our future economic
ecosystem, our children.
