The Creative Workforce How to Launch Young People into High-Flying Futures

"Whether we describe them as Generation Y, the Net Generation, the Millennials or the Yuk/Wows, today's young people have grown up in a highly technologised environment. They interact, engage and disengage with greater speed and choice than ever before. But are they equipped for a work future in which creativity has become the defining feature of economic life? No longer the preserve of creative industries, 'creative capital' exists in industries where navigation, interactivity, border-crossing and forging new relationships can be crucial to success and productivity. In this important book, McWilliam argues that the way in which young people are being educated, particularly in Australia, demands a massive pedagogical shift and that creative capacity can be developed in the right learning environment. Using both local and overseas examples, McWilliam describes what creative capacities are, why they've become important to our work futures, and what is being done to optimise the creative capacities of young people."--Provided by publisher.

No longer the preserve of creative industries, 'creative capital' in the form of novel thinking, navigation, interactivity and border-crossing has become crucial to success and productivity. But are young people being equipped for a work future in which creativity is the defining feature of economic life? In this important book, Erica McWilliam argues that young peoples creative capacities are not being properly developed and that education, particularly in Australia, demands a massive pedagogical shift.
