The Global Workforce and Cross-Cultural Competence
(2015-2025)
The goals of this QEP fell within the broad area of campus internationalization, capitalizing on the presence of a large international student population at Florida Tech. The QEP was developed to support and build on the work of units already involved in advancing internationalization efforts in academic, research, and service areas.
The plan had two student-centered goals which were designed to help prepare Florida Tech students for the global workforce, an aim presented in the university’s Strategic Plan for 2013-2023.
Goal 1. Expand Knowledge and Understanding of Global Cultures: Florida Tech students will expand their awareness, knowledge, and understanding of global cultures through academic study.
Goal 2. Develop Cross-Cultural Competence: Florida Tech students will demonstrate a greater willingness to interact with, accept, understand, and learn from those who are from nations, cultures, and ethnic groups other than their own.
