DEL's Strategic Approach to International Activity

Summary:

On 21 March 2006 Minister Angela Smith MP launched the Department for Employment and Learning’s Strategic Approach to International Activity which recognises the significance of the increased internationalisation of higher education, training and research. This new approach will ensure that all international activities and programmes supported by the Department are based on the same key principles and will assist the Department in determining how it can add value to the work already being carried out by the Northern Ireland education and training sector in the area of international activity. The Department recognises that a strategic approach to international activity is needed in order to gain maximum benefit from an increasingly competitive international student and labour market. It aims to maximise the contribution of tertiary education to overseas trade and inward investment, by encouraging the development of collaborative international partnerships. The Strategic Approach also affirms the Department’s recognition of the need to develop the skills and competencies of individuals so that they can compete in a global economy.
