The International Education Career Academy (The IECA)

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR:

• You're passionate about the idea of working in or advancing in the field of international education.
• You have daydreamed about working in an international education office in a college or university, for a study abroad organization, interacting with international students and/or scholars, working with students and partners from around the globe, or working in business that supports international education.
• You're ready to commit to the application process so that you can apply for int'l ed jobs effectively and efficiently.
• You're open to changing your approach to the job search if you know it will help you reach your goals.
• You're nervous and/or already frustrated about the international education job search.
• You have a career already but want to transition to an international education career, yet are unsure how to go about doing so.
• Anyone dealing with a recent lay off or concerned about one, who wants to be confident and ready for the international education job search.

If any of these sound like you, you're in the right place.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM THE IECA:

1. SHINE: You can have studied and traveled abroad extensively, but if you don't know how to position the experience beyond "it was life changing," you are not going to get very far in this job search journey. We teach you how to deeply explore what your niche/s is/are using our unique yellow scarf methodology so you can shine and stand out.
   
2. CONFIDENCE: The IECA methodology teaches you how to craft your strategic resume, cover letter and other documents using a logical and intuitive method that doesn't feel forced or intimidating. Past participants frequently comment on how they feel so much more confident in their job search, but also in their abilities, because of not only what we show you but HOW we show you.
   
3. COMMUNITY: We make this one easy. You'll be part of one of the most exciting private communities of international educators out there when you enroll. Our alumni network has not only resulted in job connections and insider knowledge about job posts, but it has also yielded sincere friendships.
   
4. SHIFT: Alumni who have moved through this program still tell me how the skills learned in the IECA help them breeze through those moments of frustration in the job search (and life!) in a much more healthy way. Our red balloon exercise is one that participants use again and again.
   
5. AGILITY: The irony of the job search in international education/higher education is that it often is a traditional field that requires a lot of innovative agility in the interview. The IECA shows you how you can be your most agile self, even when your DNA doesn't scream "bendy!".
   
6. WORLD: Your world class job, after all, is why you're here.The IECA has approximately a 90% interview and over 80% job success rate (at last count) for those who do the work in this program. We're excited to show you why our results are so high. We intend to move you from imagining your office at your dream job to unpacking it.

“I know I never would have made it through this extremely arduous international education job search without the assistance, guidance, and mentorship of Missy Gluckmann. I will never be able to say enough good things or repay her for giving me the strength, knowledge, and willpower to succeed. I highly and genuinely recommend participating and trusting in her IECA methods and wisdom. Thank you for everything, Missy. You will always be one of the most incredible and impactful people in my life.” - Brian Henry, Study Abroad Advisor at UNC Chapel Hill
