I wish to extend my gratitude to my GBTA - NJ Board, Dr. Barto, and the Fairleigh Dickinson Graduates for their invaluable contributions in ensuring the success of our inaugural GBTA-NJ Global Scholars Experience Program Board meeting. The Global Scholar Experience Program for Fairleigh Dickinson Graduate Students aims to provide them with early involvement in the business travel industry to enhance their exposure and experience, which can be attractive to corporations during the recruitment process. 1.      Exposure to the business travel industry: The program offers students a firsthand understanding of the dynamics and operations of the business travel industry. They can explore various aspects such as corporate travel management, hospitality, tourism, and related fields. This exposure can help students develop a deep knowledge and understanding of the industry. 2.      Practical experience: Through the program, students can gain hands-on experience in business travel. They may have opportunities to work on real-world projects, engage with industry professionals, and participate in internships or co-op placements. This practical experience enables them to apply their academic knowledge in a professional setting, enhancing their skills and competencies. 3.      Networking opportunities: By engaging with professionals, industry experts, and fellow students through the program, graduate students can expand their professional network. Building connections with individuals in the business travel industry can provide valuable contacts for future job opportunities and mentorship. 4.      Global perspective: The program may include international travel components, allowing students to experience different cultures, business practices, and challenges associated with global travel. This exposure broadens their worldview and equips them with cross-cultural competencies, which are highly valued in today's globalized business environment. 5.      Competitive advantage in recruitment: Involvement in the Global Scholar Experience Program can differentiate graduate students from their peers during the recruitment process. It demonstrates their initiative, adaptability, and readiness to engage in professional environments. Employers often value candidates with relevant industry exposure and experience, making the program participants more attractive to potential recruiters. Overall, the Global Scholar Experience Program for Fairleigh Dickinson Graduate Students provides a platform for students to gain early involvement in the business travel industry. This exposure and experience can equip them with valuable skills, knowledge, and connections that enhance their prospects for future career opportunities.

For the Region of Tuscany and Anci Toscana, the regional association of municipalities, INTERCEPT represented a way to expand and foster a multistakeholder network to outreach NEETs and to test a possible solution to bring young people closer to the green job’s market opportunities. Anci Toscana signed a MoU with ARTI, the regional PES, which was involved in the activation of internships, by checking the elegibility of applicants and ensuring a green dimension in the 12-week placement as well. Anci Toscana delivered the common 25hs green training to all selected participants, strongly supported the matching of demand and offer of green internships and it funded, managed and monitored the job placements. A peculiar aspect of the Italian pilot is that the 25hs green training was delivered remotely only to applicants who had already been matched to a hosting company for the job placement phase: this element helped overcoming logistic and timing constraints and made it easier for the interns to fully complete their green internship. Simone Cappelli (Regione Toscana) and Elena Conti (Anci Toscana) are now taking part to a panel discussion on the challenges of the project implementation, on the solutions designed to overcome them and on the future perspectives for development and mainstreaming of the pilot in Italy. #InterceptProject #GreenJobs #EEANorwayGrants #EEAandNorwayGrants #YouthEmploymentMag #FundforYouthEmployment EEA and Norway Grants https://lnkd.in/eWpwFKD2

we discussed questions regarding how all apprentices can gain access to language experiences to prepare for work and life in globalised economies and societies of the future

[INTERNATIONAL WEEK] Since 1996, 25+ Partner Associations have been hosting a transformative 1-Week Exchange for foreign students each year. Under the guidance of the international board, Hosting Associations craft unique programs based on our Network's four pillars: Business, Academic, Cultural, and Social Exchange. Participants of each International Week dive into challenging workshops, visit local industries, and gain a profound understanding of international businesses while exploring internships, traineeship and job opportunities. As a project driven by students, International Week provides a platform for exchanging on educational practices and delving into the life of bachelor and master students. Explore local universities, discover exchange and and foster meaningful connections with like-minded students. At the heart of International Week is its social component, offering participants the opportunity to truly live with students, fostering an acute sense of international understanding. It's more than partnerships; it's about making lasting friendships. IW gives an opportunity to the participants to experience the richness of cultural exchange as it flows both ways – enjoy culinary delights from both hosts and other participants, present their country, and listen to others share their International Week experiences. Join the International Week Coordinating Organisation, a global network uniting student unions and organisations. Over the past two decades, student unions and young, aspiring organisations have joined the International Week initiative, propelling the exchange of culture and business through a one-week-long project – The International Week (IW). Together, let's continue building bridges and fostering global connections. #iwco #iwneverends #studentexchange #culturalexchange #business

Did you know that going on a semester abroad will not be a financial burden? The semester abroad is an integral part of each Bachelor program at Karls University. The International Office prepares students for their unique experience through intercultural reflection workshops and practical tips during the upcoming Bridge Week. While you may think spending a semester abroad will be a financial burden, quite the opposite may be the case. Through generous Erasmus+ funding and the efforts of our colleagues in the International Office, you can receive extra Erasmus+ top-ups when going abroad within the EU: students with fewer opportunities (e.g., working students or students from non-academic families) are awarded monthly top-ups of €250 in addition to the normal grant. About half of our outgoing students are already benefiting from this! We also provide Erasmus+ International scholarships for destinations outside the EU, including the UK, and fund internships in the Global South. This aligns with our critical global perspective, enabling students to practically experience theories discussed at Karls University. #studyabroad #semesterabroad #internationalexperience #erasmus #erasmusplus #interculturalexchange #internationalstudents

🙋♂️ Recent studies have highlighted the remarkable benefits of the Erasmus+ program for students. This initiative not only enhances the quality of life and career prospects for participants during their time abroad, but also leaves a lasting positive impact. 👫 YIT projects with Erasmus+ is not just about training; it's a catalyst for innovation and social inclusion. 📈 Intriguingly, the statistics speak volumes about the success of Erasmus+. Nearly half of Erasmus+ trainees receive job offers from the very companies where they completed their training. ⭐These findings underscore the profound and lasting impact of Erasmus+ on students' lives and future careers. #ErasmusPlus #YourInternationalTraining #YITMallow #internshipprogram #studentopportunities

When you study a course and are told you could work anywhere with it, it often means the course is not highly regarded or just a random choice that lacks market recognition. Therefore, if you are moving out of your comfort zone to study, it's crucial to choose the right course that will favor you in the job market. STEM and health-related courses are the most sought-after in the labor market. Make sure to align your studies with one of these fields when considering education abroad. At Global Connect Travel Concept (GCTC), we make the process of studying abroad easy and provide expert advice on the best courses to choose. When you are ready to follow the right path, send us a message to get started!

Participating in the Education Fair at Marriott Marquis Washington, DC: Insights and Guidance for Young Indians. Abigail Ruiz-Sierra, MBA Lucy Carone Elliott Thank you so much. I recently had the privilege of participating in an education fair held at the Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC, USA. Representing our country in this international forum was an enlightening experience. I chose to wear traditional Indian attire, which not only highlighted our rich cultural heritage but also stood as a testament to our values and traditions. Key Observations: Value Beyond Appearance: Contrary to what some might believe, I observed that attire and appearance were secondary to the substance of our interactions. The participants, representatives, and attendees were all eager to engage in meaningful conversations, sharing knowledge, and exploring various educational perspectives. This environment underscored the notion that in an academic and professional setting, what truly matters is the depth of your knowledge and the breadth of your expertise. Emphasis on Knowledge and Skills: The fair provided a platform where individuals from diverse backgrounds could come together to discuss and exchange ideas. It became evident that your knowledge, skills, experience, and expertise are your most valuable assets. These attributes command respect and appreciation far more than outward appearances ever could. Guidance for Young Indians: As you prepare to represent India on international stages, it is crucial to focus on developing your knowledge, skills, and expertise. Here are some points to consider: Cultivate Knowledge: Invest time in learning and expanding your academic and professional horizons. Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in your field. Hone Your Skills: Practical skills are just as important as theoretical knowledge. Engage in internships, workshops, and hands-on projects to build a robust skill set. Gain Experience: Seek out opportunities that provide real-world experience. This could include volunteering, part-time jobs, or participating in professional organizations. Develop Expertise: Strive to become an expert in your chosen field. Specialization can set you apart and make you a valuable resource in any discussion or collaboration. Pride in Representation: When you represent India internationally, remember that you carry the pride and heritage of our nation with you. Share your values, education, skills, and knowledge with confidence. You will not only receive appreciation but also feel a deep sense of pride in yourself and your country. Open for Further Guidance: If you have any questions or need guidance regarding international opportunities, feel free to reach out. I am here to help you navigate and make the most of the global stage. Thank you!
