SUMMARY:ISB FEEDBACK SESSIONS 2026
DESCRIPTION:It is that time of the year again: Nannette Ripmeester (Director Surveys Europe\, Africa & North America for etio) will present the feedback results of Europe\, North America\, and Africa (Northern Hemisphere)\, based on the International Student Barometer™ (ISB) data. These invitation-only ISB feedback sessions for the northern hemisphere are taking place from March 2 until April 15\, 2026. \nThe International Student Barometer™ (ISB)\, the largest global benchmark survey on student satisfaction\, tracks and compares the decision-making\, expectations\, perceptions and intentions of international students from application to graduation. It enables institutions to make informed decisions to enhance the international student experience and drive successful recruitment and marketing strategies.  For some institutions\, we survey both international (ISB) and domestic (SB) students\, allowing strong indicators as to whether an issue is only relevant for your international student cohort or whether it is an issue that affects both international and domestic students. \nNext to Student Barometer for inbound students\, Etio has the iMPACT survey for outbound students.

SUMMARY:CIGL Lisbon 2026 | Framework First: Competency Models for Global Learning
DESCRIPTION:Join  Kate Moore  (Principal and Founder\, Global Career Centre) and Nannette Ripmeester (Director\, Expertise in Labour Mobility/etio) for their session about “Framework First: Competency Models for Global Learning” on October 12th 2026\, at 10:45 – 11:15 AM WEST (11:45 – 12:45 CET) at Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa\, Portugal. \nSession description: \nThis session examines competency frameworks across multiple domains—professional development\,\nintercultural awareness\, geographic contexts\, and industry-specific applications—and demonstrates their practical use in global learning. \nThe content emphasizes a key principle: using a structured framework matters more than selecting a specific model. Participants learn to evaluate diverse competency frameworks based on their professional context\, then apply them confidently across program development\, coaching\, and assessment. The session includes interactive exercises to identify relevant competencies\, examples from different contexts\, and practical application strategies. This approach addresses the growing need to demonstrate ROI and relevance in competency-based terms. Rather than prescribing a single solution\, the session aims to equip participants as they select and implement frameworks appropriate to their institutional needs and professional goals. \nThe Forum’s Careers\, Internships\, and Global Learning (CIGL) conference scheduled on October 11-13th will will bring together leaders in career services\, international education\, and industry to reimagine how we prepare students for a rapidly evolving global workforce. Additionally\, this conference will explore how immersive international experiences cultivate career readiness and spark innovation.  For more information on the CIGL conference\, click here.
