Supporting International Student Success in the Workforce

Dr. Krusekopf was granted Research and Professional Development funds for research focused workshop to explore best methods for post-gradate success for international students in the workforce.

Together with the Ryerson Centre for Immigration and Settlement we plan to hold a two day workshop in Toronto on May 25-26, 2017. The workshop will explore and highlight best practices, partnerships and research needs related to how universities can improve the design, delivery and coordination of academic programs and support services for international students to facilitate students' successful post-graduation integration into the workforce. The workshop will look beyond Canada for insights and approaches by examining how Germany has addressed this issue. Faculty, Graduate Students, Researchers and Government officials from BC, Ontario, RRU, Ryerson, York and several German institutions will be attending.
