Study abroad programs often lend students with a characteristics and personality that are required for handling bigger global projects. The experience of staying and living alone abroad works in favor of students with foreign education added in their resume. Global corporations also take into account the exposure to varied cultures, interactions with peers from other communities and different thought processes when hiring students’ with study in abroad program.
The view is recapped by executives at corporate houses in India too. As U Vyas, consultant at Hub for talent, says, “Skills gained and lessons learned from handling difficult situations while being away from home country in a foreign land for higher education helps students to apply them in their career. Leveraging the varied benefits of a semester abroad can help students to grab the best offers even during this difficult job market.
Global recruiters also prefer students with study abroad experience as they believe them to have greater flexibility and problem-solving skills as required for dealing with their international clients. Enhanced communication skills and exposure to multi-cultural set up during the years of foreign education help students stay ahead in the competitive race.
