Turning international education into career capital for Indian graduates

The true value of an international degree lies in intercultural understanding, adaptability, and employability, not the qualification alone.

Many international institutions lack visibility in the Indian labour market, and employers often prefer relationships with domestic universities.

Graduates need to clearly articulate what makes their education distinctive to avoid being overlooked by employers.

Universities can nurture skills like active listening, empathy, diplomacy, and global interdisciplinary thinking.

These capabilities often remain implicit; graduates may have them but struggle to express them to employers.
