WORKSHOP HELPS STUDENTS TURN STUDYING ABROAD INTO RESUME MATERIAL

MANHATTAN -- Skills learned studying abroad could translate into a great career with the help of Kansas State University's career and employment services.

At the Putting Your International Experience to Work workshop, 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10, K-State students can learn how to show employers the competence they gained studying abroad and how it relates to job readiness. The workshop will take place in Room 212 at the K-State Student Union.

Immediately following the workshop, at 5:30 p.m., career and employment services will offer the U.S. Department of State Student Internship and Career Information event. Ed Wehrli, a diplomat-in-residence, will share information about internship and career opportunities with the department.

Both events are free and open to all students and alumni. More information is available on the career and employment services website, http://www.k-state.edu/ces/students/calendar.htm#international.
