Abstract: As the twenty-first century continues to bear witness to technological advancements, so our workplace will be changed increasingly by technology and the digital world. In this article, we try to explain the view of young Europeans on this inevitable process, the workplace that is changing. After all, the majority of the people who have to work in this new and modern workplace are the young Europeans themselves. We can conclude that young Europeans are aware of and feel part of this digitisation process. However, they still consider human contact to be a vital aspect of the relationships between employees and employers. Moreover, there is a belief that traineeships and internships help young Europeans to better develop their skills and adapt to the new workplace. Due to technological advancements, the workplace is changing in several ways. The differences between work and home can sometimes become blurred, but for many young Europeans it remains very important to be able to distinguish between home and the workplace.
