TRANSNATIONAL EDUCATION: AN AUSTRALIAN APPROACH TO ASSURING QUALITY AND ENGAGING OFFSHORE STAFF

Werner Soontiens and Kerry Pedigo

Business Education and Accreditation, 2013, vol. 5, issue 2, 41-54

Abstract: Traditionally and despite the growth and increased importance of transnational education (TNE) staff development and induction in offshore locations are undertaken from afar with sporadic actual engagement. As a long time TNE provider, in an often complex environment, the Curtin Business School (CBS) at Curtin University, in Perth, Western Australia has developed and is implementing a multifaceted approach to the induction of offshore staff. The article reflects on the context, roll-out and results of a newly developed residential staff induction program. The program facilitated skill development and understanding but more importantly established an unanticipated depth of connectedness and commitment.
