Abstract: Millennials or Generation Y refers to the group of individuals who are born between the 1980s to the mid-2000s.This generation has seen several important technological events like the rise of personal computers, laptops, and tablets, the rapid increase of internet connectivity and wifi, the increasing use of mobile phones and later smartphones, telecom boom just to name a few. We note that each of these events has had an impact on the education sector and how learning and teaching take place. There has been a significant change in technology which the millennials have witnessed and the same changes have enabled a plethora of methods for both the students, the teachers & their trainers. This paper aims to study the learning styles of this generation and also the teaching/training styles which must be used to most effectively transfer knowledge and skills to the millennials. The paragraphs below discuss most of the preferred methods of learning by the millennials and how teachers/trainers can customize their pedagogy to engage this generation in the educational settings (both inside and outside the classroom).
