The event will bring together experts to guide students, young professionals, parents, and educators on how to gain admission to international universities, plan a global career, and develop essential interpersonal skills for today’s market. In addition to practical information about admission processes for international institutions, participants will engage in interactive workshops focused on skill development and planning for an international career.
According to Vinícius Corrêa, Coordinator at STB Brasília, the event is an excellent opportunity for those interested in exploring the potential of a global academic experience: “We’ll address questions about entering universities abroad, explaining the main requirements and steps needed to build an international education. We will share career planning tips, discuss globally valued interpersonal skills, and help participants understand how to select the ideal course and country. Additionally, we will present updated data and insights on the impact of an academic experience abroad, including return on investment and international market trends that can influence educational and career decisions.”
Participants will also learn about the American College, an innovative program offering a dual degree between Brazil and the USA. In this 2+2 program, students complete their first two years in Brazil and then continue their studies at a partner university in the United States. Areas of study include Computer Science, Business Administration, Finance, Marketing, International Relations, and other business fields. “Our goal is to build a bridge that connects Brazilian students to top international universities.
