Ohio students will soon be adults seeking opportunities in the global marketplace where they will have the opportunity to interact with people from other cultures on a daily basis. They will need to collaborate with them to meet global challenges in the economy, health care, the environment, and national security. Join education and community leaders from the local region for a meeting designed to discover the best use of local resources to prepare our students for that future.
Educators will learn:
*How employers are defining global competence
*Strategies for integrating international content into their school systems
*Resources that link Ohio students to the world in new ways
Community leaders will learn:
*Why global competence is essential to every student's success
*How they can develop that awareness in their community
*The critical role cultural institutions and community organizations can play in expanding the horizons of students
Business leaders will learn:
*How to help schools develop the skills needed in the workforce of the future
*New information about the international reach of Ohio 's business community
