Quick Guides

For Students

• Our popular Quick Guides are packed with critical information about building international competencies and succeeding abroad.
• These guides cover the most popular go abroad topics to help you develop your global career skills and prepare for international work (whether at home or abroad) in a global economy.
• Discuss and share these guides with school advisors, fellow students and your parents.
• Spanish and French Guides: If you speak or study Spanish or French, be sure to check out the translated versions of the guides. They will help you articulate your international skills with professional terminology when you're applying to French or Spanish employers. And if you’re you a first generation immigrant with Spanish-speaking parents, why not share the Spanish Quick Guides with your parents to highlight the career value of going abroad?
