Towards NCTC Explores: How Short-Term Study Abroad Programs Support Equitable Opportunity
CLARA Project
Session Description
Many community college students, especially first-generation students and students from underrepresented groups, have not had the opportunity to travel or study abroad. Through development of short-term study abroad programs, students will have the opportunity to earn course credit while gaining real-world workforce skills through exposure to business professionals and environments they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Through short-term study abroad, students grow professionally, intellectually, emotionally, and academically in a completely new environment.
