02 Manifesto · Why this course exists

Not a collection of tricks — a new generation.

Most "Gen Z courses" are 7 facts about Gen Z on Instagram and a 40-minute webinar. This is different: 10 lessons, 30 templates, a 12-month strategy. Built on data from Deloitte 2025, Gallup, Randstad and McKinsey — not on TikTok memes.

Based on data 2026
OLD HR like 2015

Firefighting
mode.

  • Annual performance reviews
  • Career ladder: "5 years for a promotion"
  • Corporate events as "motivation"
  • EVP = logo on a mug
  • Exit interviews as source of insight
  • Manager = task distributor
  • Onboarding = office tour
NEW HR × AI for Gen Z

A system
with foresight.

  • Continuous feedback every week, AI sentiment analysis
  • Career lattice, internal mobility, skills-first
  • Total Rewards: money × meaning × well-being
  • EVP Canvas with benchmarks and a comms plan
  • Stay interviews and predictive turnover before people leave
  • Manager as mentor: empathy, coaching, transparency
  • AI onboarding: +82% retention over 90 days
01

A system,
not tricks.

EVP → recruiting → onboarding → performance → retention → strategy. One coherent chain, not a pile of tactics from Medium.

02

AI built-in,
not bolted-on.

30 ready-made prompts for Claude and ChatGPT right inside the lessons. Copy, adapt, apply — without a separate AI course.

03

Data,
not opinions.

Deloitte, Gallup, Randstad, McKinsey + cases from Google, Netflix, Unilever, Spotify, Hitachi. Benchmarks that defend your budget to the CEO.

03 Architecture · 6 layers deep

Behind the course lies logic.

10 lessons arranged not by topic popularity, but by the architecture of the HR system: from readiness diagnostics to a 12-month strategy. Every layer builds on the previous one.

FAQ · 8 honest answers

Questions you've already asked yourself.

01 Is this course right for me if I don't have Gen Z on my team yet?
Yes. WEF projects that by 2030, Gen Z will make up 30% of the global workforce. The course gives you a full management system — EVP, recruiting, onboarding, retention — that prepares your company for the new reality before you run into retention problems.
02 How is this different from other Gen Z courses?
Most Gen Z material is "7 facts about zoomers" lists or 40-minute webinars. Here — 10 lessons of 45 minutes each, 30 templates, 30 AI prompts, and a ready strategy with a roadmap. Built on Deloitte 2025, Randstad, Gallup, and McKinsey data, plus cases from Google, Netflix, and Unilever.
03 Do I need AI experience to take the course?
No. Each lesson comes with ready prompts for Claude and ChatGPT — you just copy and adapt them to your company. If you want to go deeper into AI separately, the Academy has a "Claude AI in HR" course.
04 Is there a diploma?
Yes. An HR Professional diploma is issued after you complete the homework for all 10 lessons. The diploma lives on Accredible, with a unique code and QR code, integrates with LinkedIn. Available in RU / EN / UA.
05 Can I take the course as a recording, at my own pace?
Yes. All 10 lessons are available as recordings right after payment. You go through them at your own pace over the course of a year. Homework is reviewed personally by Mike Pritula.
06 Is the course right for a company of fewer than 100 people?
Yes. All templates and tools adapt to the size of the company. Each lesson includes 3 homework options: basic (for SMB), advanced (for mid-size), and strategic (for enterprise). Pick the option that fits your context.
07 How is it different from "AI in HR" or "Claude AI in HR"?
"Claude AI in HR" teaches how to use AI tools in HR tasks. This course is about a management system for a specific generation (Gen Z) with AI as an enhancement. AI is the means here, not the goal. For maximum impact, the two courses complement each other well.
08 Can I take the course as part of the annual subscription?
Yes. The course is included in the annual subscription ($1,000/year — access to all 160+ courses). For a team of 10 — $2,500/year. That's the best math for most people who've read this far.
