US To Connect Entry Points To Boost Recruitment
The US needs to utilise its diverse entry points and facilitate connections between them to increase international student enrolments in the country, experts have said.
Recommendations from the American International Recruitment Council suggest that entry points, including K-12 schools, public and private secondary schools, community colleges, as well as undergraduate and graduate institutions of higher education, offer prospective international students “unparalleled opportunities”.
Others include intensive English and pathway language programs, vocational and business training, short-term study abroad and exchange programs, volunteer, work and cultural programs and online learning, with many “not known or appreciated even by international student recruitment professionals”.
