DEI and Employability in the Global Economy
Strengthening Rural Community Colleges
May 25, 2022
One in ten Americans is foreign born, and local communities—urban, suburban, and rural—are growing more diverse.
To take advantage of global market opportunities, companies want employees with the knowledge and skills to work across cultures. This webinar will examine what global employability skills are and how they can be integrated into career and technical education programs in order to assist with DEI initiatives, while preparing students to compete, connect and cooperate on an international scale. New free tools and resources, created by the Center for Global Education at Asia Society will be shared.
The Center for Global Education (CGE) has worked extensively within the field of career and technical education (CTE) for the last eight years, closely partnering with major organizations like the Association for Career & Technical Education (ACTE) and Advance CTE to make the case that global competence is critical for all career pathways. With these groups and through the support of ECMC Foundation and the Project Management Institute Education Foundation, CGE has led the creation of widely used online and in-person professional development resources to support secondary and postsecondary CTE educators in integrating these skills into what is already being taught in classrooms.

Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2022
