While RIT already stands out by providing dedicated career advisors for international students, they understood that empowering both advisors and students with the right tools was crucial for maximizing impact.<\/p>\n<p>To address this need, RIT adopted Interstride, providing centralized access to international-friendly jobs, internships, and resources like networking opportunities, immigration guidance, and professional development tools. The solution not only streamlined support for students but also improved career center efficiency.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Impact:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>1 in 3 international students at RIT is actively using Interstride.<\/li>\n<li>More students secured interviews and found visa-sponsoring employers.<\/li>\n<li>One tool to serve both international students and domestic students seeking global opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Comprehensive resources enabled better coordination between career and international student offices, ensuring maximum support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"bluebg quote\"><div class=\"bluebg-quote\"><\/div><div class=\"bluebg-cnt\">\n<p>A single resource that is all-encompassing for everything our students need.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Julian Huenerfauth, Assistant Director for International Student Career Services<\/em><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>University of Miami successfully streamlines and scales career content and resources for international students<\/h3>\n<p>With 14% of its student body composed of international students, the University of Miami needed a robust solution to address the diverse needs of its large international student population while managing limited career center resources.<\/p>\n<p>By integrating Interstride, the university provided personalized job search tools, a live database of visa-sponsoring employers, immigration guidance, and on-demand webinars. This allowed the university to efficiently deliver targeted resources instead of creating content from scratch, significantly improving student engagement and career outcomes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Impact:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Students praised the platform for being \u201cphenomenal,\u201d \u201cincredibly useful,\u201d and \u201csolving the right problem\u201d for them, including simplifying immigration processes and tailoring job search strategies to their needs.<\/li>\n<li>Career center staff saved significant time by utilizing Interstride\u2019s pre-built tools and resources.<\/li>\n<li>The platform optimized career center operations by consolidating resources and streamlining support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"bluebg quote\"><div class=\"bluebg-quote\"><\/div><div class=\"bluebg-cnt\">\n<p>It\u2019s exactly what career centers strive to offer.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Carly Smith, Director of Career Education<\/em><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Babson College introduces international students to more international-friendly jobs and opportunities<\/h3>\n<p>With 31% of its student body composed of international students, Babson College faced challenges in finding job opportunities open to international candidates. The career center relied on fragmented resources spread across offices and platforms, forcing staff to manually analyze job data and compile lists of visa-friendly employers. Students were referred to outdated tools with poor interfaces, resulting in low engagement and inefficiencies that impacted both students and staff.<\/p>\n<p>To overcome these hurdles, Babson College implemented Interstride, providing an <a href=\"https:\/\/interstride.com\/career-centers\/?utm_source=Interstride&amp;utm_medium=case+study&amp;utm_campaign=RUB\">all-in-one resource for immigration and career guidance<\/a>, tailored jobs and internships, and visa insights.
