Highlight study abroad as a unique professional development opportunity. Reshape the conversation #1 Soft Skills •Independent decision making skills •Intercultural competency - the workplace is always globalizing! •Confidence to try new things •Effective communication and interpersonal skills •Resilience Study Abroad helps students develop: While dealing with an unruly customer or colleague, they can navigate tough conversations by observing before reacting. When they work closely with colleagues that have different values or backgrounds, they’re ready to listen and understand. When they don’t get selected for an internship or special project, they can bounce back to pursue their next opportunity. Soft skills applications: #2 Hard Skills Experiential learning opportunities offered in some study abroad programs can provide valuable entry-level experience. Internships, volunteering, community service, and research abroad are all unique resume builders and talking points in future interviews. Language immersion!
