Abstract
•Orient students to potential professional and skills-based outcomes of study abroad prior to their departure so that they are more likely to achieve concrete gains in these areas from their experience.
•Assist students to leverage their study abroad experience into career opportunities, postgraduate
education, and into greater expertise.
•Make students more aware of what they have learned and how to talk about these gains in terms that will make sense to other people, both in interviews and in job letters and other documents.
•Crystalise better and more explicitly for students the benefits of study abroad and exchange.
