The Need
The world has become a global village, placing high demands of cross cultural adaptability on the young people today and added to this is the need for personal and professional growth which has become an ongoing life long learning process.
Study abroad is an enriching and eye-opening adventure, where learning extends far beyond the classroom. The experience exposes you to different and new ways of thinking, living, and viewing the world. To learn about another culture firsthand, learn an entirely new language or become fluent in one you have already studied is one of the benefits of studying abroad. Other benefits are the opportunity to travel, fulfil major and minor coursework requirements, and develop new intellectual pursuits, skills, and perspectives. You can also expect to make friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Study abroad experience enhances your employability after you graduate
International knowledge, cross-cultural communication skills, flexibility, resilience, and the ability to adapt to new circumstances are skills enhanced through studying abroad that are important to employers in various fields. As a result your study experience will enhance your employability.
According to a June 2007 article in the Going Global newsletter, global executives say that “study abroad boosts employability” and here are a few reasons why:
- Three out of four executives cite study abroad as important when evaluating candidates for junior-level positions.
- Eight in 10 human resource (HR) executives surveyed believed that a study abroad experience was an important factor for overseas job placement within their companies.
- Two-thirds (67 percent) of HR executives surveyed said that a study abroad experience within a culturally diverse student environment distinguishes a job candidate.
