International education: Houston Community College Has Global Appeal

Academic, Article/Journalism, Career Comments Off on International education: Houston Community College Has Global Appeal

A significant number of JET alumni are working in, or interested in working in, the field of international education programs, also sometimes referred to as student services.  With that in mind, here’s a good written and radio piece from NPR’s Weekend Edition titled “Houston Community College Has Global Appeal.” The piece delves into a trend of community colleges reaching out to international students and even setting up school outposts in foreign countries, partly as a way to recruit.

For any JET alumni interested in getting into the field of international education programs, it’s worth being aware that there may be some great opportunities available at the small college level.
