Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of Generation Z students on the use of digital technology to develop skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative research used data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews with six Generation Z students who are preparing for their future working life. The results of the study found that Generation Z considered digital technology to have a significant role for them to develop skills during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through independent learning, they try to develop their skills by utilizing smartphones and digital media in the form of Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, online courses, websites, as well as participating in webinars which are often held during the pandemic. They are made easier by the flexibility of place and time during the pandemic. They can easily gain knowledge to develop skills in their respective fields from anywhere and anytime.
