Abstract: As a result of globalization, the global mindset required to work effectively in organizations has been of enduring concern to human resource development (HRD) scholars and practitioners. While there are instances of short-term learning programs abroad in HRD education to help students cultivate global mindset, there are few resources available in the HRD community for faculty wanting to lead their own programs. Thus, the purpose of this session is to identify approaches to HRD education abroad through a panel of four faculty experts who will share different models of short-term learning experiences abroad in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
