About the university

  • UW-Madison is a top-ranked research institution in the Midwest with international students making up about 14.5% of the student body.

Situation

  • Through our collaboration, we hosted a 1 hour webinar on Navigating Recruitment as an International Student. The event discussed holistic career planning starting from being aware of different visa options, approaches to increasing your chances for job interviews, to following up with employers. Guest presenters also included immigration attorney Art Serratelli and UW-Madison alum Sean Meng. Before the event, students who participated in the survey indicated that their level of confidence in searching for a job in the US was mostly somewhat confident and not very confident. 

Post event results

  • After the webinar event, international students at this university felt empowered and excited about networking in the American job field. Every student who took the survey after the webinar event went from not feeling confident to either “somewhat confident” or “very confident”. Each student felt that they had the ability to take action for their futures. With the information from speakers, UW-Madison staff members established a new home base on the website specifically for supporting international students.

Illustration: At the post survey, every student rated themselves as “confident” or “somewhat confident” for the learning outcomes we established.

From the beginning Kwan was clearly passionate about student success and tailored her expertise to meet our international student population needs. In addition to offering her time, she provided an additional presenter, her internal resources, and ensured the program met all learning outcomes. I feel truly thankful for the energy and passion Kwan has for Career Coaching and look forward to collaborating again in the future.

The webinar is very informative. As an international student, I got to know more about how to land a job in America and some legal issues about work visas. Most importantly, I get to find the right direction and take action from now on.
