SOCIETY 30 - TRACEY WILEN-DAUGENTI KARTONIERT (TB)

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

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
