Abstract

Continuing knowledge, skills, and practice update through continuing education, which then becomes the lever of society and the recipe for a successful future. This chapter aims to initiate a discussion about the concepts of knowledge societies, globalization, and their perceptions and impact on knowledge management in relation to the Brazilian educational reality. From a theoretical-methodological perspective, continuing education is considered as a key element that can sustain knowledge management and foster knowledge societies. This question is the reason why this intensity of the offer of continuing education nowadays becomes pertinent, as well as to look at how the knowledge societies have seduced people to consume more and more knowledge. The conclusions raise the question of how societies of knowledge have become a contemporary imperative, justified by the acceleration of time in different spaces and driven by globalization. As knowledge management has contributed to this movement, it is necessary for professionals to be more flexible and resourceful, as well as about what can happen to the individuals who cannot keep up with the demands of the market and become disposable in society.
