The Institute for International Education's latest survey of students who studied abroad confirmed the link between their experience and important job skills and offers of employment. Seventy-eight percent of those surveyed reported that study abroad was discussed in job interviews and 53% said that they believed an offer of employment was related to the experience and skills/insights they gained.
Determining the benefits of international exposure is important to building support for these experiences. The documentation that the "majority of students (more than 70 percent) reported that studying abroad helped them, to a significant degree, to develop intercultural skills, flexibility/adaptability, self-awareness, curiosity and confidence" justifies a claim to victory and also points the way to the need for more research.
