Global Competence Certificate at UNO

A recent study on Global Competence, conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), has shown a vital need to prepare students, educators, and other professionals for living in an increasingly interconnected world. The National Association of Colleges and Employers lists Global/Intercultural Fluency as a key competency for career readiness, but only 20% of employers rate recent grads proficient in this area. The AFS Global Competence Certificate (GCC) is a valuable tool to develop relevant skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, cross-cultural communication, open-mindedness, and flexibility. UNO students, faculty & staff, as well as community members can now earn this certificate through self-directed online learning and synchronous dialog sessions with a qualified GCC facilitator. 
This program is offered by the UNO Division of International Education and sponsored by the Student Government Association. For more information, contact Dr. Irene Ziegler
