Job Ready Program
What is a Job Ready Program for an international student?
Job-ready training for international students focuses on developing essential skills and competencies that make them immediately employable in part-time or entry-level jobs. These training programs are typically tailored to enhance students’ job performance and help them meet local job market demands.
This can comprise a variety of (not only skills training) workshops like practicing for interviews and job searches, creating a résumé, and attending workshops on skill development. It is a professional development program that prepares the students to be ready for the job market while also providing insights on the right job roles and responsibilities of different levels of positions. With this program, the individuals are also informed regarding the organizational culture in their professional environment and work-life balance in general.

Training to develop specific skills is important for international students searching for part-time jobs for several key reasons:
1. Competitiveness in the Job Market:
- Higher Demand: Part-time jobs are often highly competitive, especially in popular student destinations. Training helps students stand out among other candidates by demonstrating their competence and readiness to contribute immediately.
- Industry-Specific Requirements: Certain jobs, such as in the IT, hospitality, or customer service sectors, may require specific skills. Training in these areas ensures students meet the basic criteria.
2. Adapting to Local Work Culture:
- Understanding Local Norms: Training can help international students adapt to the work culture of the host country, such as the communication style, hierarchy, and professional etiquette.
- Language Proficiency: In many countries, part-time jobs may require some level of local language skills, especially for customer-facing roles. Training helps bridge language barriers and improves employability. Knowing the local language (e.g., Korean in South Korea, Danish in Denmark, Finnish in Finland, Dutch or French in Belgium) can be crucial for customer-facing jobs like retail, restaurants, or tutoring. Many part-time opportunities (especially in multinational environments or tourism) require good English skills.
3. Confidence and Competence:
- Boosts Confidence: Having the right skills boosts students’ confidence when applying for jobs and during interviews. Employers are more likely to hire someone who demonstrates competence in required areas.
- Smooth Transition into Work: Being well-trained allows students to transition smoothly into their part-time jobs, reducing the learning curve and helping them perform better from the start.
- Problem Solving: Handling customer inquiries and issues requires quick problem-solving abilities.
4. Broader Range of Job Opportunities:
- Access to Better Roles: With proper training, students can apply for a wider variety of jobs, including more specialized roles that offer better pay or more growth opportunities. Effective communication skills are necessary for roles like cashier, retail assistant, waiter/waitress, and front desk receptionist.
- Flexible Work Options: Skills like IT, social media management, and tutoring allow students to find flexible freelance or remote work, which can be balanced with academic commitments.
5. Compliance with Legal Requirements:
- Work Permit Conditions: In some countries, certain part-time roles require training and certification (e.g., food safety, first aid), especially in hospitality or retail. Having the necessary certifications through training makes students eligible for these roles.
- Minimizes Risk: Training reduces the risk of errors, accidents, or legal issues, which is crucial when working in areas like healthcare, food services, or construction.
6. Long-Term Career Benefits:
- Skill Building for Future Careers: Part-time jobs are often stepping stones to long-term career goals. By training and developing skills early, students prepare themselves for future job opportunities and internships.
- Networking and Professional Growth: Having specific skills can open doors to networking opportunities within the industry. This could lead to better references, internships, or even full-time jobs after graduation.
7. Employer Expectations:
- Job-Ready Applicants: Employers prefer candidates who need minimal training on the job. Being already trained in key skills makes international students more attractive to employers, saving them time and resources.
- Quality of Work: Well-trained employees tend to produce better quality work, which can lead to better reviews, recommendations, and possibly higher pay.
Training allows international students to overcome potential barriers, enhance their employability, and secure part-time jobs that fit their skills and interests. This makes the job search process smoother and more successful. Each country might have its own trends in part-time jobs, so researching local demand is key.
