From Passport Stamps to Career Capital: Unlocking Transferable Skills Through Study Abroad

Bryan Schultz, Director of CBA International Programs and UCIS

Study abroad is more than a cultural adventure; it's an accelerated classroom for the skills employers want most. This presentation explores how navigating unfamiliar systems, collaborating across language barriers, and adapting to new environments builds competencies like communication, problem-solving, feedback and cultural agility. You'll leave with a framework for identifying, articulating, and showcasing these experiences in your resume, interviews, and cover letters.
