We assume that international experiences will give students an edge in their job search, but is that really true? International travel requires a significant investment, but how do we make that investment pay off for students and future employers? This webinar will highlight some ways career offices and study abroad offices work together to promote the benefits of students' international experiences to employers.
Webinar Objectives:
* Address the disparity between graduating student expectations and employer expectations.
* Improve student preparation programs for international study and career searches.
* Develop a strong message of how international experiences yield better employees for the job market.
