Marketing Study Abroad (In-Person)

Living or studying internationally has proven to lead to better job prospects and higher salaries. Students who study abroad gain a competitive edge in the global marketplace and boost their resume for any job field. Still today, only 10% of U.S. students nationwide study abroad. Therefore, this experience truly sets students apart.

Similar to improved employability, study abroad also helps students develop skills necessary for career success in the 21st century. This includes but is not limited to communication, confidence, adaptability, intercultural competencies, foreign language, problem solving, and self-awareness. These are great skills that will not only help students get hired, but also help with employment retention and promotions. 

However, it's not just about having the experience itself, it is important to know how to articulate your experiences and market them to future employers. The Office for Study Abroad has programming available to returnee students to help with resume development and interview preparedness to transform their experience into career opportunities. 

In collaboration with ESIA Career Services, the OSA is hosting a re-entry session for study abroad returnees to discuss how to market their study abroad experience for future employers or graduate school applications. Learn how to sell your study abroad skills and make yourself a more eligible candidate!

This is an in-person event! Come prepared with your resume if you'd like our facilitators to give it a look and give you some advice!
