The theme of the Partnerships for World Graduates II is Academia, Industry and Community in partnership in the preparation of graduates for a globalising society. Communities and industries are changing profoundly as the world becomes increasingly globalised. What does this mean for institutions preparing graduates to become active citizens and productive members of society? These institutions, working together with industry and the community at large, must explore new ways of developing graduate capabilities and competencies that will meet the demands of a changing society. PWG II builds upon the conference of PWG I to evaluate the progress achieved since 2007 and the projected developments for graduate attributes, including specifically an understanding of the work ethics in different cultural environments, and global citizenship. Partnership for World Graduates II will include a Forum, where among others, alumni of the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program will have the opportunity to discuss the program’s impact on their lives thus far. The over 200 partner companies of the program are invited to present their views, in this forum, on the impact of the collaboration between educational institutions and industry in developing skills of the future workforce.
