Closing the college to career employability gap

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at 12 p.m. EST
​Presented by Podium Education 

As reported by Gallup, only 4 in 10 undergraduates complete an internship during college, with the rate of participation even lower among first-generation students, at just 27 percent. Additionally, less than 10% of college students are able to access mobility-based study abroad programs resulting in a huge skill AND experience gap for new graduates. 
AIEA and Podium Education came together on October 11 for a panel discussion to gain expert insight into how institutions can leverage the power of intercultural learning and innovative global program design to help close the employability gap for students. 

Topics covered: 
  • The current landscape of early-career opportunities, global learning access, and industry partnerships, and how all of these components are critical to the future of higher education  
  • Actionable steps for how to create innovative and scalable global experiences that bridge the skills AND experience gap for students
  • What differentiates the co-designed project experience between industry, Podium, and their university partners from typical COIL programs, as well as the career-readiness case for why this matters

THE FUTURE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION: WHY AGILITY IS NOW INTEGRAL TO STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Future of International Education: Why Agility Is Now Integral to Strategic Planning
August 19, 2020 
Partnered Town Hall with Terra Dotta


​If 2020 has taught international educators anything, it has been that simply having well-developed emergency plans may be insufficient. They are, of course, important, but many of our plans may not have anticipated events impacting all our students at the same time, nor that they required broad immediate responses and mobilization. 

Agility is a characteristic more common to the business world than higher education. Committee structures and hierarchical administrations traditionally have not lent themselves to quick decisions and actions. The events of this year, however, have tested international educators by requiring immediate responses with far-reaching implications on the entire institution.

This pandemic will not last forever (despite how we may feel currently), although the lessons will be considered far into the future. International educators will review our crisis plans and SIOs will again engage in strategic planning. It will behoove us to borrow a page from our business partners and consider agility in our planning so as to quickly adapt in an ever-rapidly changing world. The bar is being raised and the expectations are increasing. The next time will not be “unprecedented.”

Moderator: Kerry Geffert (Terra Dotta)

Speakers: Aaron Clevenger (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), Elaine Meyer-Lee (Goucher College)

Supporting Chinese Students’ Success and Engagement in the New Normal: Reflection and ReimaginatioN
Supporting Chinese Students’ Success and Engagement in the New Normal: Reflection and Reimagination
April 8, 2021
Partnered Town Hall with New Mind Education


The issues of student success and engagement among Chinese students are well-observed and ongoing challenges for US universities.  Beyond language skills, Chinese students also face hurdles with their understanding of academic expectations and cultural adaptation which has their roots in the Chinese education system.

As the coronavirus pandemic forced universities to shift their instruction and services to a virtual environment, it also provided them with an opportunity to experiment with traditional programming and its delivery. With the advent of the “new normal,” a number of new possibilities are now available to higher education institutions, allowing them to reimagine their offerings in order to better engage Chinese students and support their development.  

Speakers:
  • Bailian Li (NCSU)
  • Karin Sandler (New Mind)
