Session description

• Employment dissatisfaction among cross-border learners: contributing factors
• Enabling early integration to enhance graduate employability
• Highlighting and promoting graduate outcomes that value cross-border learners’ cultural capital

This session will examine intercultural variables that cross-border learners negotiate in relation to job-seeking. It will consider employability challenges not necessarily faced by other cohorts. The relationship between early integration and graduate employability will be discussed along with the positive benefits associated with positive employment outcomes for cross-border learners. Workshop participants will explore tailored whole-of-provider strategies that leverage institutional graduate outcomes and offer practical support.
