Boost Your Career with International Experience
Studying abroad during your college career is not just an adventure—it’s a career investment. A semester in a culturally rich city like Barcelona or a biodiverse destination like Costa Rica helps you develop key global competencies, such as intercultural fluency, multilingual skills, global awareness, and ethical leadership. These skills are highly valued by employers worldwide, preparing you for global industries that increasingly demand professionals with diverse capabilities.
Reports from industry leaders highlight significant gaps in technical, soft, and global skills. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, 63% of companies struggle to find candidates with the abilities needed to succeed in today’s workforce. Traditional education systems often fail to meet these needs, leaving students unprepared for the complex challenges of the modern job market. This is where LCI Education’s Study Abroad programs shine. Through hands-on projects, internships, and fieldwork, students are immersed in a competency-based learning model that aligns directly with the skills employers seek.
Competency-Based Education: A Pathway to Success
Competency-based education (CBE) emphasizes mastering practical, job-ready skills rather than theoretical knowledge. This model allows students to work on real-world tasks and projects that mirror the demands of the workforce. In the vibrant cities of Barcelona and Costa Rica, students engage in experiential learning opportunities that build technical and soft skills, setting them apart in the global job market.
Moreover, LCI Barcelona and Universidad LCI Veritas Costa Rica have strong industry ties, offering students the chance to participate in internships, capstone projects, and mentorships that further develop their professional abilities. These collaborations bridge the gap between education and industry, equipping you with the expertise and experience to thrive in a globalized world.
Studying abroad is not only about cultural exploration—it’s about gaining the skills and knowledge to make you a sought-after candidate in any industry.
