LYNN STEWART: I'm Lynn Stewart.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.213 align:middle line:84%
I teach international marketing
within the International

00:00:14.213 --> 00:00:15.590 align:middle line:90%
Business Program.

00:00:15.590 --> 00:00:17.150 align:middle line:84%
Typically, the
type of jobs you'll

00:00:17.150 --> 00:00:20.700 align:middle line:84%
find in international business
center around marketing,

00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.590 align:middle line:90%
logistics, supply chain.

00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:26.120 align:middle line:84%
The traditional business
functions that you see

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.120 align:middle line:84%
would be the same,
but just include

00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.250 align:middle line:84%
international in front of
that, international sales,

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:33.500 align:middle line:90%
international marketing.

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:35.820 align:middle line:84%
And the demand for
those types of students,

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:37.850 align:middle line:84%
those types of workers
with those skills,

00:00:37.850 --> 00:00:39.950 align:middle line:84%
in international
business is definitely

00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:41.520 align:middle line:90%
something that's of demand.

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.940 align:middle line:84%
TATYANA AGUIRRE: I am an
international trade specialist

00:00:43.940 --> 00:00:46.020 align:middle line:90%
with the US Commercial Service.

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:48.890 align:middle line:84%
This is an agency of the
US Department of Commerce

00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:52.250 align:middle line:84%
that focuses on helping
US companies export

00:00:52.250 --> 00:00:53.880 align:middle line:90%
their product overseas.

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.470 align:middle line:84%
I love the line of work I'm in
because I'm constantly learning.

00:00:58.470 --> 00:00:59.900 align:middle line:90%
Every day is different.

00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:04.580 align:middle line:84%
And I get to help companies
expand their business overseas.

00:01:04.580 --> 00:01:07.010 align:middle line:84%
So for somebody
that is completing

00:01:07.010 --> 00:01:09.450 align:middle line:84%
a degree in
international business,

00:01:09.450 --> 00:01:11.250 align:middle line:90%
they have endless opportunities.

00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:13.570 align:middle line:84%
So the great part of the
International Business Program

00:01:13.570 --> 00:01:16.730 align:middle line:84%
is that it covers a
little bit of each domain,

00:01:16.730 --> 00:01:18.650 align:middle line:84%
like marketing,
finance, logistics.

00:01:18.650 --> 00:01:20.620 align:middle line:84%
So you can get a
taste for everything,

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:24.043 align:middle line:84%
and you can develop and
see what you like best.

00:01:24.043 --> 00:01:26.210 align:middle line:84%
LYNN STEWART: I tell the
students, pick an industry.

00:01:26.210 --> 00:01:28.875 align:middle line:84%
A lot of them will come
in and say, I really

00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:30.500 align:middle line:84%
want to work in arts
and entertainment,

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.350 align:middle line:84%
or I want to work in
fashion or manufacturing.

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:36.527 align:middle line:84%
Really, it's about exploring,
exploring the opportunities,

00:01:36.527 --> 00:01:38.110 align:middle line:84%
looking at what
options are available,

00:01:38.110 --> 00:01:40.480 align:middle line:84%
and what does that
occupation look like?

00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.100 align:middle line:84%
Community colleges are tasked
with workforce development,

00:01:43.100 --> 00:01:45.100 align:middle line:84%
which means that's
where a student is going

00:01:45.100 --> 00:01:46.760 align:middle line:90%
to gain the practical skills.

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.590 align:middle line:84%
I see every semester, several
students that have either

00:01:50.590 --> 00:01:52.660 align:middle line:84%
graduated from a four
year, either a couple

00:01:52.660 --> 00:01:54.130 align:middle line:84%
of years ago or
recently graduated,

00:01:54.130 --> 00:01:55.250 align:middle line:90%
that can't find a job.

00:01:55.250 --> 00:01:58.370 align:middle line:84%
And the number one reason is
they don't have the skills.

00:01:58.370 --> 00:02:00.770 align:middle line:84%
And so when an employer
is looking for somebody,

00:02:00.770 --> 00:02:02.320 align:middle line:84%
they want to know,
what can you do?

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:04.940 align:middle line:84%
And so it's great you
have the four-year degree.

00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:08.140 align:middle line:84%
But it's the skills that are
going to get you in the door

00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:08.890 align:middle line:90%
and get you hired.

00:02:08.890 --> 00:02:12.240 align:middle line:90%
