Most of the field is populated by colleagues who are certified professionals.

Students, families, faculty, govt officials, and the general public understand, embrace and can articulate the value of ed abroad Employers put a premium on applications from alumni who have participated in ed abroad programs from Forum members. Aspiration by 2025: Related to the workforce conversations... that employers increasingly seek students with global fluency and multicultural communications skills. Currently the 2020 NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) Job Outlook Survey has study abroad, global fluency, and foreign language skills as in the bottom of several attribute lists from surveys from employers hiring new graduates. I would like to see this flipped. The Forum is building marketing efforts to debunk myths and biases about study abroad for their members. The Forum is working with members to help push for study abroad programs to integrate into degree programs. The Forum has established a service to allow employers to actively recruit alumni from member programs because they know that the experience makes recent grads more prepared for the workplace. Education Abroad has made a demonstrated contribution to student learning goals in such a significant way that every school and major has a global learning specialist partnering with Ed Abroad leadership at a senior administration level. The Forum has helped break down barriers and perceptions about study abroad; and opened up opportunities for staff to participate as part of professional development. The Forum has partnership with every US embassy and sponsors a Standards workshop series. Study abroad is fully supported and promoted by governments, professional trainings, collaboration with other IE organizations The Forum has funds that they can use to support research efforts of others (act as funding agency). I will go beyond the Result of grant funding for research initiatives and say Forum's operational/managerial work is fully externally funded so that Forums benefits/resources etc., can be fully focused on contributing to members successes and participation which will truly create pathways for underrepresented groups and membership of all kinds. The Forum is financially secure and has the resources (financial, staff( to invest in new initiatives as well as to support less resourced members around the world.
