Careers are becoming increasingly global in scope and connection. Due to rapid globalization, university students need preparation in leveraging a successful global career. BYU GlobeLink prepares students to enter into an international workplace.
GlobeLink is a Kennedy Center initiative to help students take advantage of global opportunities. GlobeLink provides guidance, resources, and international network to help students find the opportunity to work in the industry and country they desire.
How does GlobeLink work?
GlobeLink provides students with the tools necessary to create global opportunities. We expect students to take the initiative in using those resources to his or her advantage. The program also exists to help students in knowing how to successfully network and capitalize on those opportunities.
