Abstract
Third Culture Kids (TCKs) are children who travel with expatriate parents and spend significant portions of their growing years in cultures other than their passport cultures. Such children internalize portions of both the home culture and the host culture, building a new cultural identity that reflects all their experiences without developing a sense of belonging to any single culture. TCKs often have more in common with each other than with peers raised in either their home or host cultures. As they mature and enter higher education systems and the workforce, TCKs present both challenges and opportunities for human resource development (HRD) professionals. This paper reviews the literature on TCKs, focusing on implications for HRD teaching, research, and practice.
