Student success and workforce development are at the heart of every community college mission. In an increasingly interconnected global economy, the ability to communicate effectively across borders and backgrounds, and to apply field-specific skills and knowledge in an array of geographic and cultural contexts is essential for graduates as they transition to the workforce -- regardless of their field and where they ultimately live and work. Providing opportunities for students to acquire these skills is no longer an optional add-on to other curricular efforts, but a critical element of the student success and workforce preparation equation. As access-focused institutions with deep local ties, community colleges -- perhaps more than any other sector of higher education -- are uniquely positioned to make global learning accessible to student and workforce populations who have often been excluded from such opportunities. By ensuring a robust and ongoing stream of globally competent graduates in a wide variety of fields, community colleges contribute to economic development and community vibrancy at the local, national, and international levels. This report examines the role of community college trustees in facilitating and supporting global learning.
