Incorporating Study Abroad into Your Career
Studying abroad is more than a travel opportunity; it’s a transformative learning experience that can shape your personal and professional goals. To truly get the most out of your time abroad, take the time to reflect on your experience, not only on what you did, but also on what you learned, how you grew, and how you can apply those lessons to your future.
Employers and graduate schools may not immediately understand the value of study abroad; it’s up to you to clearly communicate the skills you gained and how they make you a stronger candidate.
We strongly recommend that you meet with a Career Coach in the Career and Professional Development Office to discuss updating your resume to reflect your study abroad experience.
