Abstract

International students in U.S. colleges experience unique employment challenges. This study evaluated a 9-week career intervention program that helps international students become competitive employment candidates through job search and networking skill-development. Pre-post comparisons of self-efficacy, résumés, and written networking pitches demonstrated improvements over time; findings suggest areas for program improvement.
