ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the practical trajectory that presents programs of study with the opportunity to focus on employability skills instead of on a semantic discussion on internationalisation. The trajectory evolved out of action research on internationalisation with academics. Incorporating employability skills into the process of internationalising learning outcomes constituted a positive force in action research and was developed into the key aspect of the trajectory. Lecturers were familiar with the term “employability,” as they were with the terms “soft skills” and “21st-century skills”; however, there was a tendency to equate these terms with intercultural communication skills. In addition to the lists of employability skills, lecturers are encouraged to integrate as much available external input as possible. While some universities offer training for teaching in an international classroom, there was generally no training for redesigning curricula with an aim to integrate international and intercultural dimensions.
