When Kwan Segal moved to the United States in 2014, she experienced firsthand the challenges many international professionals, students and immigrants face while navigating the U.S. job market.
After adapting to the cultural and professional expectations of the American workplace, Kwan secured a consulting role at Deloitte in Chicago. Drawing from both her lived experience and background in human capital consulting, she began coaching international students to help them navigate the career development process more effectively and confidently.
What began as volunteer coaching evolved into ICAway in 2017 and later expanded into the ICAway Talent Platform and institutional advisor training initiatives.
Today, ICAway’s work extends beyond individual coaching to helping institutions strengthen the broader ecosystem surrounding international student success.
Create a more connected, culturally informed, and career-ready international student experience across higher education.
Empower international students for long-term career success while helping institutions strengthen cross-cultural advising and coordinated student support.
