This summer, the Career Center proudly announced its acceptance as a member of the International Career Collective (ICC), a distinguished network of 23 U.S. universities supporting over 120,000 international students from more than 150 countries. This membership marks a milestone for UMBC's international students, as it opens up a collaborative platform to enhance their career development.
As part of the ICC, UMBC will partner with top institutions, including Johns Hopkins University, Duke, and NYU, to offer specialized career resources tailored for international students. Upcoming initiatives will feature an International Career Summit and Employer Expo, fostering professional development and networking on a global scale.
The ICC’s mission is to unite higher education professionals in creating impactful events and resources that aid international students in launching successful careers. Through this collaboration, students will gain access to career events, skill-building workshops, and a global network of employers.
This month, ICC universities, including UMBC, will co-host the 2024 International Career Summit, a virtual five-day event designed to empower students with career insights and strategies. Highlights include sessions on communication, job search tactics, global career paths, and life design, concluding with the ICC Career Expo on November 19. Spaces are limited; registration is essential for each day. For more information about the ICC and the upcoming summit, visit the ICC website.
