Top 3 Ways How Gaining International Experience Can Benefit Your Career

Did you know that research shows that gaining International experience is a HUGE benefit for your future career.  Training abroad not only broadens your knowledge and allows you to discover something new but it allows your resume to stand out in the competitive job market. 

Here are the TOP 3 benefits of gaining International experience:

  • Language Skills - Speaking a second language fluently is a skill that employers greatly value, especially if they operate at an international level.  It also show an employer that you like to take initiative and are willing to accept a new challenge.

  • Employable Skills - After gaining International experience you will have the soft skills that stand out to employers such as Confidence, Sense of adventure, Open-mindedness, Adaptability, Communication Skills, Teamwork and Ambition.  These are KEY qualifications and characteristics that employers look for when scanning resumes.

  • Career Prospects/Grow Your Network - Having an International experience will make you more confident and social.  Almost all employers want confident people on their team that have good communication skills and can make new connections easily.  Your international experience will also be beneficial in the future as you may be the first to hear about your "Dream" job from the network you created while abroad.

Grab the opportunity to grow both your resume and yourself by gaining an amazing International experience.  You will not regret it!

Cultural Exchange

While the training that you came to receive is important, another big part of the J1 Internship/Traineeship Program is the Cultural Exchange aspect.  The USA is a highly diverse country which makes the USA a unique country.  America is a GREAT nation because of it's rich history and the heritage of our citizens.  Americans as a whole, have common customs like celebrating the National Holidays, but depending on the location in the USA, may have a very different culture than another area in the USA. 

What is Culture?  Culture is defined as the customs, arts, social institutions and achievements of a particular nation, people or other social group.


Make the most of your J1 program and get involved.  Here are some tips for getting the most out of this amazing opportunity:

  • Ask your supervisors or managers about things to go see and get involved in the community
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice
  • Keep a diary or journal of your memories
  • Reach out to other Interns/Trainees to attend local events together...it's always more fun in a group!

Cultural Events to participate in:

  • Celebrate US holidays
  • Participate in community events
  • Watch a sport you have never played
  • Try eating and cooking local foods
  • Listen to a local radio station
  • Attend concerts, movies, theater or other activities in your area

Don't forget to send IRES your photos of your adventures.  We love seeing them and sharing them on our Facebook page.

Thank you for reading and if you have any suggestions for other Interns/Trainees for cultural activities, please comment below.
