"Exploring the benefits of Global WIL"

University graduates are entering a globalised workplace, with technological advances enabling greater permeation across borders and cultures to produce work. So, how are we preparing students at university with the cultural competencies to work internationally? This ACEN Critical Conversations will explore Global WIL, students accessing international work experiences, and discuss the challenges, benefits and future possibilities for better preparing global citizens.
