=== Internationalisation supports Universities’ broader mission ===
<div style='text-align:justify;'>How can we prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist, to face challenges in society that are still unknown, and to work with technologies that have yet to be developed? 
How can we ensure they are ready to thrive in a globalised world, where they must understand and respect diverse viewpoints, engage with others in a respectful manner, and take responsible action towards sustainability and collective well-being?.</div>

<div style='text-align:justify;'>Internationalisation is a major challenge for higher education institutions. By bringing diverse perspectives into teaching and fostering global networks, internationalisation enriches learning, prepares students for the global workforce, and advances research. Its purpose is to enhance the educational experience, research, and global engagement. 
<b>The ultimate goal is to improve teaching quality, drive innovation, and create global citizens who can solve global challenges.</b></div>

<div style='text-align:justify;'> To achieve this, it acknowledges that all members of the university community - students, teaching and administrative staff - are learners and essential to the institution’s equitable and intercultural transformation. It should be a strategic, coordinated framework that integrates policies, programmes, initiatives, and individuals. Internationalisation should be seen as a comprehensive, continuous process which embraces your whole organisational growth mindset, rather than a static goal.

<div style='text-align:justify;'> <b>In today's interconnected world, the demand for global skills has reached unprecedented levels</b>. A recent report by the World Economic Forum indicates that more than half of all employees worldwide will need to upskill or reskill by 2025 to adapt to new responsibilities driven by automation and emerging technologies. Additionally, their "Future of Jobs Report 2025" highlights that, on average, <b>39% of workers' core skills are expected to change by 2025</b>, emphasizing the necessity for continuous learning and adaptation. A study by the British Council found that <b>79% of employers consider intercultural skills essential for the workplace</b>, as they enhance teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Furthermore, research by McKinsey & Company reveals that companies with diverse and internationally skilled teams are 35% more likely to outperform their competitors. These statistics highlight the increasing value employers place on global competencies, not only for organizational success but also for individual personal development.</div>
