Poster Abstract: On The Move: Exploring The Impact Of Mobility On Career Opportunities

In an increasingly globalised world, the importance of international mobility experiences seems obvious. This poster is about a GSO Innovation Fund project, the Canadian equivalent of Erasmus+, which seeks to shed light on a pivotal question: Do employers value international mobility and what’s the effect on the student’s career opportunities?

Learning Objectives

•  Assess the impact of international mobility experiences on students’ employability.
• Identify the key skills and competencies valued by employers when hiring graduates with international mobility experience.
• Understand what employers deem important when assessing a candidate.
• Promote a holistic understanding of employability outcomes by involving employers as vital stakeholders in the discussion.
