摘要：AbstractThe idea that career competencies are required to achieve corporate competitiveness is an integral part of the reference on globalization. As things present, it is no easy task to keep up with the rapidly growing vocabulary which captures the whole mass of skills that prepare a student to be part of the global workforce. In the discourse on globalization, the notion that competitiveness is critical to organizational sustainability has proved much the case. In consequence, it falls to higher education institutions to be responsive to those skills which constitute work-preparedness—and the way forward is through internationalization of higher education. The staggering pace at which trans-national corporations are moving up the global value chain implies that higher education institutions need to move inwards from peripheral to core internationalization. In other words, only such internationalization will serve as results in shift towards substantive skill formation. The study argues that internationalization of higher education contributes imperatively to the attainment of global career-readiness competencies; further, it discusses the myriad ways in which this comes about. The paper delves into the research concern largely through critical synthesis of published literature.
