Cultural Awareness

One of the many Employability Skills. The world is an interconnected place and with the globalised economy there is often a need to have an understanding of the many different cultures.

The way people from one culture undertake business can be very different from that of people from a different culture.

Incorrect gestures or mannerisms, whilst being acceptable in some cultures can be offensive in others, even though no intent to offend is meant.

Being able to offer an employer a skill which brings an understanding of different cultures can be especially beneficial to those organisations that trade internationally.
