Generation V is passionate and fearless as they look up to youthful leadership figures in politics (Mmusi Maimane; Barack Obama); culture (Toya Delazy; Tony Gum) and industry (Elon Musk; Mark Zuckerberg; Mark Shuttleworth). They are sceptical and challenging. They never let a brand pull the wool over their eyes. The degree to which this generation interrogates brands has resulted in ever-greater transparency and any brand worth its salt having to abide by the wisdom of 'we are not what WE say we are – we are what THEY say we are.' In short, it is a mindset that combines the unique personality of IIE-Vega with the traits of the ideal Vega student.
