Student Work Abroad and International Career Advisor

Started by William Nolting in 1993 by the Study, Work, & Travel Abroad and Peace Corps Manager of the University of Michigan's International Center and Transitions Abroad's Work Abroad and International Education editor. While every issue of Transitions Abroad features a Working and Living Abroad section, Work Abroad Advisor is dedicated to information and experiences specifically for students or recent graduates. Work, including volunteering, is the only affordable education abroad choice for a great number of students. What are the opportunities? How can students find work abroad? William Nolting answers these questions in practical and comprehensive resource-based articles.

The related International Career Advisor column, with Jean-Marc Hachey (author of the The BIG Guide to Living and Working Overseas) providing his expertise, concentrates on student preparation for an international career before, during, and after graduation.
