Workshops:

Market Your Study Abroad Experience Career Workshop
Market Your Study Abroad Experience Workshop is designed and conducted by the Ag Study Abroad office every fall before the college career fair. The goal of this workshop is to help returning study abroad students make the most of their international experiences by applying them to the job market.

Specific objectives include: 1) help students identify the useful skills gained from the study abroad experience; 2) help students learn how to showcase those skills during an interview or on a resume; 3) help students share international experiences with others.

For more information about upcoming workshops, please contact Difei Shen at dfshen@iastate.edu
