EACE Webinar: Empowering International Students toward Career Success: Strategies for Addressing the Specific Needs of This Unique Population

Wednesday, February 26, 2020 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST

Do you sometimes feel at a loss when working with international students because they face so many barriers in terms of entering the US workforce? Or do you sometimes feel unsure about the advice you are giving them? According to the Migration Policy Institute, "the United States remains the country of choice for the largest number of international students, hosting about 1.1 million of the 4.6 million enrolled worldwide in 2017," so it is important that all career coaches learn how to effectively counsel this unique population and empower them to take control of their careers. You will leave this webinar feeling better equipped to work with your international student body by being able to provide them with useful tips and resources as well as the most important thing of all – hope!
