During our inaugural Gatton Global Week, we invite you explore ways to enhance your resume by building global experience. Gatton College will host distinguished alumni, corporate guests, and international exchange partners for classroom lectures and panel events. Additionally, there will be opportunities for students to explore education abroad options and begin planning a global education experience.

Why study abroad? Similar to internships, education abroad can help you develop soft skills and give you a competitive edge in the job market. Companies value employees who've travelled internationally and bring intercultural skillsets. In fact, graduates with study abroad experience tend to find a job more quickly and earn higher starting salaries than those with no international experience. Plan to participate in an education abroad program during your time at Gatton!
