Inter Cultural Competency (ICC)<br />
Beginning of Service<br />
End of Service<br />
In the next table, Table 9, we see the results of difference of mean t-test when we compare the<br />
respondents’ assessments of their ICC competency at the beginning <strong>and</strong> end of their service. In<br />
this case, the t-values, significant at p < 0.05 (some even suggest < 0.04), confirm that alumni<br />
clearly improved in overall ICC development <strong>and</strong> in its individual components at the end of their<br />
service experience.<br />
