Zusammenfassung:	This chapter intends to explore the learning and development needs of Generation Y (Gen Y) as adult learners at the workplace. Gen Y is the current and dominant cohort of workforce. Managing Gen Y effectively and efficiently has puzzled many organizations. Gen Y workforce poses great challenges as their characteristics are extremely distinct than the other two cohorts of workforce, namely Gen X and Baby Boomers. Due to their unique characteristics, hypothetically, managing Gen Y talents should not be the same as managing the other two cohorts. As adult learners at the workplace, it is hypothesized that the adult learning approach or andragogy is applicable and more suitable to be employed. Nonetheless, literature review indicates that organizations employ the traditional approach or pedagogy in determining Gen Y learning and development needs.
