<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020">The world is changing rapidly. Technological advancement and global connectivity bring both new opportunities and new challenges. Seizing these opportunities and rising up to the challenges requires
the learning of certain key skills, such as <a href="http://sendy.studyadvisory.org/l/mPhZTJlGrmYZrhB892dmIPOg/0HGYxjnSKoZAmwaYrn1vaA/763ZRl1mOgwz3Rk0SZoP20Ng"><span style="color:#2BAADF">novel and adaptive thinking and cross-cultural competence</span></a>.

or working abroad is one of the best ways to build these skills</span></a> – there is something about having to adapt to a new language, culture and a way of life that teaches your mind to think creatively and outside the box. <br>
<br>
What's more, the center of economic gravity has been shifting towards the East, with Asia and especially China becoming a major player on the global stage. Deep understanding of Asian economies and cultures will therefore be invaluable assets on the job markets
of the future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
