GCC global career competence survey- Employers

Welcome! Thank you for taking some time to advance international education and work-based learning offered by the Global Career Center.

Our aim is to create and work with a framework of workplace-relevant competencies that employers value across industry and geography and indicate that young professionals are fit for the future of work. The target group for our developmental initiatives are primarily university students and young professionals.

Your input as an employer or supervisor will be instrumental to identify what is important to companies and organizations so that we can help our academic partners shape appropriate learning and development experiences.  Please respond based on your experience at your organization.
