Long Life Learning
Preparing for Jobs that Don’t Even Exist Yet
Wiley, 2020
Aperçu
As the human life span increases, workers will need diverse, ongoing education opportunities to meet their evolving professional needs.
Recommendation
Today’s educational system must evolve dramatically, writes work and education expert Michelle R. Weise. She argues that the future of work hinges on meeting the learning needs of an unconventional, older generation of workers, who will enjoy longer careers as human life spans increase. Her compact text is filled with well-researched suggestions for improving the nontraditional education-to-work pipeline. Weise’s look into the future of employment and the current shortcomings of education pairs the logic of a how-to book with a heartfelt tone that underscores her passion for her subject.
