Higher education in the U.S. has traditionally prepared students
for work and social success, but with families, work, and society
itself undergoing revolutionary change, is this preparation
sufficient to develop the 21st-century workforce? This book
explores how evolving family structures, new ways of balancing work
and personal lives, and rapid technological advancements will
transform the ways that U.S. colleges and universities develop
well-educated, career-oriented citizens. Society 3.0 will help
higher education providers and industry leaders understand these
potentially disruptive variables and design appropriate programs
and career paths for tomorrow's workers. The book presents and
explores the following insights: - A wider range of family members,
not just older children, now attend college, a decision that shapes
- and is shaped by - 21st-century demographics. - Older students,
recognizing degrees as vital for competing in the global workforce,
now outnumber those entering college before starting careers. -
Today's workers are increasingly likely to be women, working
outside the office or self-employed, or applying their education to
innovation and entrepreneurship as small business owners. -
Technology is remaking the campus experience via smartphone
learning apps, social networking among professors and students, and
immersive engagement in virtual worlds - and even games. Society
3.0 will provide higher education and industry stakeholders a guide
for understanding the emerging societal forces that are shaping the
future.
