  • Working & Volunteering Abroad
    Working & Volunteering Abroad INTRODUCTION Working outside the United States can be incredibly rewarding for recent college graduates. Not only can it be a springboard for an international career and developing intercultural communication skills, it can help graduates gain professional experience, improve foreign language abilities, and become more self‐reliant. And, of course, graduates who work outside the United States get to make friends in a new community and see the world! PRE‐PLANNING CHECKLIST Regardless of whether you are considering working abroad through an organization on this list or one that you find on your own, we urge you to be proactive in making sure the organization offers job placement and support services that suit your interests and needs, and that it is a legitimate operation. Off‐Campus Studies provides the following list of organizations as a starting point for students seeking work abroad experiences. However, because student needs vary when seeking employment abroad and organizations/conditions abroad are constantly evolving, the inclusion of a particular organization on this list does not constitute an endorsement of the work opportunity or the organization by Whitman College. To gauge the quality of a work abroad organization, we suggest you start with the following: • Contact the program directly and ask them detailed questions about what they offer. • Ask the program to supply names and contact information of past participants whom you can contact and question about their experience on the program. • Conduct an online Google search for reviews and blog posts from past participants of these programs about their experiences. • Scrutinize all employment contracts carefully before signing, and ask your employer if you have any questions or concerns.
