Social Media Question of the Week: How do we educate the younger generation to prepare for the modern workforce?
Not so long ago, Social Media didn’t register as a factor in the professional world. Fast forward to today, and social media has become a valid sector of the communications industry. Marketing, business and how we interact across and within our various personal and professional communities have undergone a huge overhaul, but whether education is keeping up is subject to debate. The Social Media Club editorial board convened last week to mull the current educational landscape for social media. How would you go about developing a curriculum to teach social media business and communications practices? And given that the field is so recent, who is qualified to teach and mentor students? Do you have any ideas on how to educate our youth? We gladly welcome your thoughts, creativity and considerations on this weeks question:
#SMCQ11 How do we educate the younger generation to be ready for the modern workforce?
Please tag your comments, posts and Tweets on the matter as #SMCQ11 and stay tuned for a report later in the week.
