The main aim of this study is to determine the trends in young management specialists' evaluation of their readiness to work in a professional multicultural environment and their expectations of employer support in enhancing cross-cultural communicative competence. When designing training programs for young professionals and supporting their self-development, it is crucial to tailor them to address not only the potential cross-cultural interaction issues identified by scholars but also the expectations of the trainees, particularly those from Generation Z. While researchers have extensively studied cross-cultural interaction issues, there is a significant lack of information on the expectations of young professionals. This article aims to bridge that gap. The article examines the potential difficulties young professionals perceive in future cross-cultural interactions and their expectations regarding employer assistance in overcoming these challenges. Particular attention is given to identifying common trends and regional specifics, communication barriers, and strategies for overcoming them.
