About Your Global Future - Indiana
This website is made possible by a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education and produced by the Indiana University Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Global Change and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
There is a growing need for employees that have cultural and language competency within Indiana. CIBER and other partners have continued to share the importance of language and culture skills and the value that they can have on future work. However, in communication with various partners and businesses across the state, we are beginning to hear directly from employers that there is a very real need in this area.
The primary focus of Your Global Future - Indiana is on high school and community college/technical school students in Indiana, with the following objectives:
- Convey the importance of language and culture skill development and competency for future employees by highlighting the pipeline of these skills and job opportunities from businesses and industries directly.
- Raise awareness of existing resources and educational opportunities for students wanting to develop these skills.
