Have you had a Study Year Abroad
or are planning to take on one?
If so, you will be interested to
know that the School of American Studies has launched the Year Abroad Employability Project.
The Year Abroad Employability
Project has been designed to maximise the employability potential of the year
abroad experience of AMS students. The project aims to provide the
outgoing Year Abroad students with the tools to fully engage with the ways in
which their experience enhances their graduate identity through a series of
preparatory workshops and by being part of an AMS Year Abroad Network,
consisting of current students and AMS alumnus.
Connecting current students (both
2nd year outgoing and 4th year returned students) with AMS alumnus and
creating a system of alumni-student distance mentoring, students will have
access to the expertise and experience of our alumni. The hope is that the
project will be mutually beneficial for everyone involved. Alumni have the
chance to reconnect with the School of American Studies, share valuable insight
and experience, improve communication and coaching skills, and be part of
something new and exciting.
Both current students and alumni,
can find out more about how they can benefit by joining our LinkedIn
group, sending an email to lucy.c.edwards@uea.ac.uk or by having a look at the projects new website, http://americanconnections.wordpress.com/.
