Impact of short-term study abroad on students' perceived employability in a global knowledge economy

5 December 2008 - 15:15

This poster presentation summarises the results of an assessment tool used to help determine if four- to fiveweek programmes contribute meaningfully to the development of a skilled future workforce. The tool asked students to consider the degree of change in various aspects of their international knowledge, skills and
attitudes as a result of their experience as well as their experience in a host of other categories. Preliminary findings indicate that students do indeed perceive that short-term study abroad programmes have an impact on their future employability.
