| Global workforce development doesn't always have to involve travel abroad however. If students learn another language and study other cultures, they will be more global ready when they graduate. | |
| It is important to point out that students also need to have a deep understanding of their own culture before they can begin to observe, analyze and evaluate other cultures . In multi-cultural societies, people can study each other's cultures, to develop intercultural competencies, such as critical and reflective thinking, and intellectual | |
| flexibility . This can be done both through the curriculum and through activities on campus, outside of the classroom, such as art exhibitions, and lectures from international experts. | |
| Many universities are already embracing this challenge and providing opportunities for students to become global citizens . Students themselves, however, may not realize that when they graduate, they will be competing in a global labor market, and universities need to | |
| raise awareness of these issues amongst undergraduates. |
