| Sumario: | [EN] This mixed-methods study explores the transformative journey of international graduate students as educated newcomers, inspiring them to establish their presence in a new professional market. Focused on the personal, social, professional, and emotional dimensions of the BE-EDGE Model for students’ investment in their boutique employability, the research unveils the nuanced needs of international students through surveys and focus groups. Findings reveal the dichotomy between aspirational "I should" and preferential "I would rather" mindsets. The study arrives at the design for a Center for Global Talents that can provide international students with a holistic platform and ecosystem for empowering individuals to shift from introspection and reluctance to integration and proactive engagement and establish their position as powerful contributors of diversity, customization, belonging, and meaning required for a future of work. |
