Why is global education
important for our campus?
The Business World Demands It
The learner who is entering today's job market must be prepared to work effectively in this interconnected, interdependent environment.

Community colleges are helping businesses and others by:

  • Providing workforce training in global skills and long-distance training to other educational institutions and businesses.

  • Constructing economic development projects involving training overseas.

  • Establishing trade centers to help their local business community deal more successfully worldwide.

  • Supporting trade missions.

  • Collaborating with four-year schools to increase access to study abroad for faculty and learners.

  • Sharing modules with K-12 level colleagues.
