June 9 – Shaping the Future of Study Abroad: ROI of Global Education for Academia and Industry

2:00 p.m. CT | June 9

As global student mobility grows and international education becomes a career-defining imperative, this webinar will challenge higher education leaders to go beyond participation numbers and focus on measurable impact. We will examine how global education has evolved into a strategic engine for workforce readiness, equity, and social integration—and why traditional metrics no longer capture its true value. Drawing on robust research across students, employers, universities, and local communities, the session addresses the growing gap between academic preparation and industry needs, the challenge of assessing intercultural competence, and the real return on investment of international experiences. Participants will learn how purposeful study abroad can build durable skills, bridge the academia–industry divide, strengthen institutional sustainability, and prepare graduates to succeed in complex multicultural environments. The webinar features a panel discussion of the leaders behind the research report followed by a Q&A. Participants will receive a copy of the report.
