General Motors named Mike Trevorrow SVP of global manufacturing, effective June 6, the automaker announced in a press release. Trevorrow will serve a dual role, retaining his position as VP of global manufacturing engineering but will also oversee the automaker's worldwide manufacturing operations, the company said. The combined units have more than 95,000 employees across 110 sites in 11 countries. Trevorrow will report to GM President Mark Reuss. "Mike's extensive experience in manufacturing operations and engineering, along with his steady leadership, make him the right choice to lead our global manufacturing organization into the future,' Reuss said in the announcement. According to his LinkedIn profile, Trevorrow has served in a variety of management roles in engineering and manufacturing for GM since 2009. He succeeds Jens Peter Clausen who resigned as head of GM's global manufacturing after less than a year in the role. GM said Trevorrow's more than 40 years of experience in manufacturing operations and engineering will help the company 'effectively integrate advanced manufacturing technologies, accelerating our transition to software-defined vehicles while supporting GM's broader innovation strategy.'

Despite the tough job market, LinkedIn cofounder says Gen Z graduates have one big selling point as potential new hires: Being AI natives
LinkedIn cofounder and venture capitalist Reid Hoffman warned AI will change jobs and the workplace, but that doesn't mean young job seekers should be alarmed. On the contrary, Hoffman said college grads need to advertise the advantage they have as AI natives to stand out among older workers. The tough job market for recent college grads is weighing on Gen Z, but the AI skills they bring to the workplace could be their biggest selling point as potential new hires, said LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman. Unemployment for young people between the ages of 22 and 27 rose to a four-year high of 5.8% in March, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Furthermore, the underemployment rate rose to 41.2% for this group, and the New York Fed said, 'The labor market for recent college graduates deteriorated noticeably in the first quarter of 2025.' Regardless, younger people need to play up their biggest advantage when they look for jobs: their ability to maneuver AI technology that is already making drastic changes in the workplace, said the billionaire entrepreneur and VC in a YouTube video responding to college students' questions. 'You are generation AI. You are AI native,' Hoffman said. 'Bringing the fact that you have AI in your tool set is one of the things that makes you enormously attractive.' While some CEOs in the AI industry like Anthropic's Dario Amodei have warned the technology will lead to double-digit unemployment and a drastic decrease in entry-level jobs, others, like Nvidia's Jensen Huang have argued it will create many jobs. Hoffman, for his part, stuck to the middle of both opinions, adding that with technology advancing so rapidly, it's a 'legitimate worry' for young people that AI could make their degrees less valuable. Still, he said, the most important takeaway from college isn't limited to any single class or skill set, but rather learning to make connections. 'One thing is to not focus on the degree, but to focus on how you learn and to be continually learning,' he said. Hoffman added the job market is constantly changing, with new jobs being created and eliminated at a rapid pace. 'AI is just amplifying this fact—which is the fact that it's changing faster, it's changing in more directions, and it highlights the fact that you need to be dynamic and evolving,' he said. Still, younger workers surrounded by older, non-AI-native employees, could stand out, especially if they have taken the time to embrace AI tools and develop their prompting skills.

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman admits what you learn during college may not matter—it's this skill that can help Gen Z land entry-level jobs
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says what young people learn in college isn't the most important thing in landing a job. Being able to leverage AI tools, tackle new labor market challenges, and leverage connections is more essential for Gen Z seeking employment—and his advice echoes that of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The stable career path of going to college and landing a cushy six-figure office role is being disrupted by AI. Now, LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman admits to rising college graduates that it may not even matter whether you majored in computer science or art history—connections and flexibility are the new hot commodities. 'What you should take forward from your college degree isn't necessarily the thing you learned in X-101,' Hoffman said in a recent video on his YouTube channel. 'It isn't specific degrees, specific courses, [or] even necessarily specific skills that are relevant to you.' Rather, the tech entrepreneur believes that being nimble in today's job market is a massive asset: 'It's your capacity to say, 'Hey, here is the new tool set, here's the new challenge.' That is actually what the future work's going to look like. One thing is to not focus on the degree, but to focus on how you learn and to be continually learning,' Hoffman said. 'The other part of college that's super important, that you should not forget, is that life is a team sport, not just an individual sport,' he continued. 'You can help each other.' Young job-seekers who effectively navigate the new world of work—by leveraging connections, constantly learning, and mastering AI—will have the upper hand, Hoffman concluded. And unfortunately for those saddled with debt, getting a college degree isn't the only way to develop these traits. There's no question that many Gen Zers have already had a rough start in their careers—graduating into a post-COVID way of work, with AI agents being positioned as their new coworkers. Some employers have even branded the generation as lazy and unorganized, but Hoffman thinks Gen Z has one advantage that hiring managers go crazy for. The LinkedIn cofounder said young people are part of 'generation AI': As digital natives who grew up with advanced technology at their fingertips, they are in the best position to leverage that skill. It may be Gen Z's ticket to landing a job. 'Bringing the fact that you have AI in your tool set is one of the things that makes you enormously attractive,' the 57-year-old billionaire said. It's why, despite all the noise around AI threatening to steal entry-level roles, the technology may be Gen Z's best weapon to find work. In the past month, both OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and LinkedIn chief economic opportunity officer Aneesh Raman have waved the warning flag that AI could rival junior employees. Hoffman agreed that AI may make the job search worse for young people—but recommended that Gen Z job searchers use the technology to create their own opportunities. 'AI is changing the [job] landscape, [and] may make entry-level jobs harder to get, may make employers uncertain about who they're looking for and employing,' Hoffman continued. 'Then you say, 'Well, okay, how do I use the current circumstances, the disruption, to make this better? How do I use AI to identify what possible new opportunities might be?'' Gen Z grew up thinking that doing well in college will score you a high-paying role after graduation—but that career trajectory is no longer a promise. Even Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, predicted that AI could eliminate roughly 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the coming years. Instead of burying their heads in the sand, young people can redirect their strategy to be a hot hiring commodity, leaders say. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been particularly outspoken on the issue; he's a huge proponent of the idea that being an AI user is a protective quality in job market disruption. 'Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable,' Huang said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in May. 'You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.' This story was originally featured on
