One of the biggest challenges facing employers and educators today is the rapid advance of globalization. The market place is no longer national or regional, but extends to all corners of the world. And this requires a global ready workforce. Universities have a large part to play in preparing students for the 21st century labor market by promoting international educational experiences. The most obvious way universities can help develop a global workforce is by encouraging students to study abroad as part of their course. Students who have experienced another culture first hand are more likely to be global ready when they graduate.

如今，雇主和教育者遇到的最大的挑战之一便是全球化的迅速扩张。市场不再具有地域局限性，而是扩展到了世界的每个角落。因而，这也要求适应全球化的劳动力。大学在通过提升国际化教育经验来培养学生进军二十一世纪的劳动市场方面大有文章可做。大学助力全球劳动力发展的最显著的方法就是鼓励学生去国外深造，并且把其当做一门课程认真对待。在他们毕业时，那些有国外生活经验的学生更有可能成为全球化的先驱。
