The Benefits of Studying Abroad

Studying abroad during college is a great opportunity and in today's world, it could help give you an edge in the job market.

In the article "Student lands job with Apple after studying abroad" by Alissa Skelton, it talks about Todd Lane and how studying abroad in Madrid helped him to land a job with Apple. The knowledge and experience he gained while overseas helped Lane to show Apple how he understood the global impacts of a corporation, ultimately landing him an internship and then a full-time position on the finance team upon completion of graduation in June.
