The project, Global Competencies and Economic Integration, aimed to assess the demand for global talent across APEC economies and to develop recommendations for APEC economies to improve global talent streams. A primary outcome of the project was to infuse the current APEC Education Strategy Action Plan with a workable definition of global competency, goals to strengthen global competency across APEC economies, and indicators by which to measure the progress.

This report was prepared based on the surveys, extensive research on ‘Global Competency’, and the discussion of participants at the APEC Workshop on Global Competencies and Economic Integration.
