The future of work is global, collaborative, and adaptive. Higher education must continue to evolve to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s workforce.
DA Global’s policy report, Global Education as a Career Success Imperative, offers a practical, operational playbook aligned with our approach to ensuring global education measurably advances student achievement, career readiness, and institutional impact.
Why It Matters:
Students, families, and policymakers are pressing higher ed for proof of value. With tuition rising and the job market in flux, what is the real return on a degree? Stakeholders want clear outcomes: How are institutions preparing graduates for durable, meaningful careers in a world shaped by globalization, digital change, and cultural complexity?
Global education—from study abroad and global internships to virtual exchange and international student engagement can provide a powerful, measurable answer.
Who It’s For:
- College & University Leaders: Make global education a cornerstone of your student-success and workforce strategy. Resource it, measure it, and scale it to reach all students.
- Career Services & Global Education Leaders: Collaborate by design. Co-create programs, advising tools, and assessments. Help students translate experiences into professional stories—and ensure employers actually hear them.
- Policymakers & Funders: Treat global education as a lever for economic mobility and national competitiveness. Tie funding to outcomes, invest in scalable models, and hold institutions accountable for who participates and what they gain.
- Employers: Join early, not just at recruitment. Partner with campuses to shape experiences that build the skills you seek, and publicly recognize global learning as a driver of readiness and resilience.
