Memorandum
SUBJECT: Study and Employment Opportunities Internationally
The topic that we are proposing is based on our program of International Commerce. Our topic involves international travel into the program. Our project is called “Developing Experience.”
This program does already include International travel opportunities through co-op and options to study abroad. Although, the options for the program do not seem easily accessible. The International co-op is very competitive and only a select few are able to have this opportunity. As well as too expensive for many students. The same goes for studying abroad. We believe that all the International Business programs should have a mandatory opportunity to work or study in another country and/or in Canada in an International Business setting. This does not include just through co-op placement, but during the school study year as well. We feel that our program needs more hands-on experience in our area of study. As well, we feel that the International opportunities are not recognized enough from the students. One possible idea includes field trips to a certain company that deals in International Business. This change in Niagara College for the International Business department will be very educational and beneficial to students. Students need up-front experience to better understand their specific area of study when they finally enter the workforce.
Some possible resources available to us are some of the International Business professors. Such as Dawit Eshetu who is the head of our program. We could also speak to students who graduated from this program and students who have previously completed an International co-op or who studied abroad through Niagara College. We could also contact other colleges or universities who have similar programs and opportunities to see how they organize this part of their programs. We can also ask International Business students how they feel about the international travel part of their program to ensure that there is a need for change.

Problem Statement - Teens today have myriad of Options to choose for Career. Selection Process turns to be very Cumbersome and Chaotic
Design a Product for Teens & Parents
1. SAY and DO
SAY
“The students don’t get support from the university to find a job apart from 2-hour trainings”
“The program doesn’t have incentives to help students get employed”
“Coming from abroad, I am not familiar with the job market and culture in Europe and
America”
“On the job market I feel like a blind kitten ”
“At the beginning of my program, I did not know what I wanted to do after, but now when I
know I don’t have time for job search since I’m busy with my internship”
“Few students stay full-time with the companies they interned at”
“I don’t feel confident enough to apply to the jobs I don’t technically qualify for even if I think I
can succeed in the role”
“It’s much easier for me to find a job in Russia, my home country, than here”
“I don’t know how to present myself to employers”
“The biggest challenge is the feeling of uncertainty”
“The majority of students on my program are from the Netherlands and don’t face the same
issues and choices as international students do”
DO
“We exchange information about companies and openings with other international students”
“I am not very active with my job search at the moment although I know where I want to
apply”
2. THINK and FEEL
• THINK
– Finding a job in Europe is much harder for international students
than for Europeans
– The program does not have a stake in the students’ success
after graduation
– There is a big difference between recruiting process in Russia
and abroad
– European and American employers do not value experience
obtained in other countries and therefore she is disadvantaged
• FEEL
– Disoriented and a little bit lost
– Insecure about her skills and qualifications
– Alone, with little support from peers and the program
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
A smart and diligent graduate student in usability
from Russia studying in the Netherlands, looking for
a job in Europe or America, with two years of
relevant work experience
NEEDS A WAY TO
learn about the job market in her field and the
strategies to succeed
BECAUSE
international students have limited information and
experience and face harder challenges in finding a
job
