Abstract

Employability skills such as intercultural exposure and communication are well established in most business education degree programs. However, there is little knowledge of how these skills are developed in transnational education (TNE). Employability will play an increasingly important role in education as working patterns and skills have changed in the wake of Covid-19. This chapter aims to explore the lived experiences of local and non-local students at TNE partners who engaged in international learning experiences and understand how these projects develop employability skills in terms of intercultural communication. Findings suggest students value these international, interactive projects to develop awareness of the home institution and enhance cross-culture exposure.
