The text of that article, which was initially posted by The Forum on Education Abroad, follows.

From the opening keynote on cultural agility in the global workplace to the closing participatory plenary tackling emerging trends within international education, delegates at The Forum’s Career-Integrated Global Learning (CIGL) Conference will have opportunity to build upon these ideas through concurrent sessions and collegial conversations. CIGL participants will share best practices, discuss topics, debate approaches, and explore opportunities while considering the extent to which student mobility or education abroad can enhance career-related knowledge, skills, and attributes.
We do look forward to continuing the conversation during #ForumEAWeek in Milan…and beyond!
