Global Employability Skills – International Summer Schools

NSCC provides international learning opportunities for students and employees through a variety of international summer schools with partner institutions in several non-traditional mobility countries around the world. All of these programs are focused on developing important global employability skills and provide inclusive and equitable learning experiences for all. Students not only learn within the “walls” of a classroom but also gain a global outlook on entrepreneurship, import/export, tourism and service learning.
The objective of these projects is to provide students with safe opportunities to gain job-readiness skills, cultural understanding and a global perspective on education and work.
