Redefining Career Support for International Students: A Webinar with Naeem Amir

Supporting international students in higher education requires more than just providing job listings or generic career advice. It demands a deep understanding of cultural differences, challenges, and the unique needs of students far from home. That's why **we’re hosting a special webinar on Tuesday, April 29th, to explore how we can radically reshape career services for international talent.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Naeem Amir, Careers Consultant at Cardiff Metropolitan University, who is the first and only career professional dedicated to supporting international students at his university. In this webinar, Naeem will share how he has redefined career support for international students by combining empathy, academic collaboration, and a commitment to equity and inclusion.

In this practical and inspiring session, hosted by Albert Segura Mollà, you will learn:

  • Why dedicated support for international students is crucial and how you can advocate for it within your institution.
  • The common challenges international students face—and how to approach these challenges with empathy and realism.
  • Practical strategies to help build employability early, including part-time work, internships, and virtual experience.
  • How personal identity, representation, and lived experiences matter when guiding students through their career journey.
  • Why we must go beyond “taking from” international students and actively work to give back and create a supportive environment.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain practical advice and learn how career services can be transformed to support international students effectively. Whether you’re a career center leader, advisor, or educator supporting international cohorts, this session will provide you with new insights, best practices, and actionable takeaways to make a difference.
