Multinational Practice Enterprise Connections
The Internationalisation@Home Toolkit provides hands-on experience and valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities during multinational Practice Enterprise activities.
International commercial exchanges between Practice Enterprises play a vital role in the global PE economy, fostering economic growth and development by facilitating the exchange of goods, services, and capital between countries. Practice Enterprise international commercial exchanges prepare trainees for the complexities of the global business environment while developing global competencies.
The Internationalisation@home Toolkit includes sections based on these global competencies: global engagement, global knowledge and global understanding.
Global Engagement
The Global Engagement subpage includes WebQuests on international commercial exchanges and business negotiations. The WebQuests offer challenge-based learning that fosters cooperative learning through guided discovery. One of the primary objectives of international trade between Practice Enterprises is to familiarize trainees with the diverse cultural, legal, and economic environments they encounter when dealing with international partners. They learn to navigate language barriers, adapt to different business practices, and understand the impact of cultural norms on business negotiations. These skills are essential for building successful relationships with international clients and suppliers.
The Practice Enterprise offers an ideal environment for building the know-how and cognitive skills trainees need to confront global and cross-cultural matters. Expanding multinational activities is especially important as it mirrors global interconnectivity and the world of work in an increasingly globalised world.
The Global Information subpage includes short definitions and explanations of key terms related to international commercial exchanges and other important to global interactions.
Global Knowledge
Cultural Understanding
The Cultural Understanding section supports VET trainees in their cross-cultural business interactions and ways in which they can learn from one another throughout the process. Through multinational activities, trainees can develop cultural awareness and multinational interactions, which prepare them for the world of work on a global scale. Multinational Practice Enterprises activities familiarize trainees with the diverse cultural environments when dealing with international partners. They learn to navigate language barriers, adapt to different business practices, and understand the impact of cultural norms on business negotiations.
Global Competence is a multidimensional construct with a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that are applied to global issues and intercultural situations. Global competence development is a life-long process. Global competencies are skills that are now being applied in a global context. Multinational Practice Enterprise activities effectively address the development of global competences, as well as cultural awareness and multinational interactions, and prepare trainees for the world of work by training in effective communication and teamwork, using technology on a global scale.
