Opening Plenary: Impact of Global Internships & Experiences
For the first time ever, the Institute of International Education (IIE) and CIEE, in collaboration with peer organizations involved with facilitating global internship experiences, launched an industry-wide study to examine the employability and professional outcomes of individuals who participated in a global internship. In this session, we will get a preview of the results from this ground-breaking study followed by reflections from host companies and alumni on the impact that global experiential programs have had on their companies and careers.
