Generation Y applying entrepreneurial skills

Kevin Melgaard, co-founder of BeyondCredentials.com

Today’s episode of Keeping Up with Gen Y features Kevin Melgaard, the third guest in our new monthly series, “Y Gen Entrepreneurs.” The series focuses on the stories of young movers and shakers as they navigate their way through the challenges and joys of being their own boss.

Along with business partner Andy O’Dower, Melgaard co-founded BeyondCredentials.com, where qualified employers meet exceptional Generation Y in a setting different from your typical resume exchange. He joins Keeping Up with Gen Y to talk about the skills and mindset necessary for the next generation of entrepreneurs. He also discusses the need for employers to understand and embrace the work style of Generation Y in order to obtain and retain the future workforce.

New episodes of the “Y Gen Entrepreneurs” series air every second Wednesday of the month.

You can listen to the show below. And check out our Page on WomensRadio Network for more information about the show and our guests.
