Abstract

ABSTRACT Many graduate students enroll in a program abroad to obtain an international education and afterward obtain employment in the host country. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of imposed nonresident status program participation on international graduate level students regarding future employment in Germany. Students were divided between resident and nonresident status and evaluated based on L2 language, development of basic German cultural values and creation of social capital. COVID-19 presented a unique opportunity to evaluate online education for employment preparedness in a foreign country as the participants could not self-select enrollment status. Results from a sample of 91 students indicate that a difference between resident and nonresident status exists – leading to likely employment challenges. Beneficiaries of the results are international business educators, reviewing or designing programs with online aspects, and university and tertiary education institutions, due to insights for enhancing employability for all students, and students, seeking a program abroad and interested in seeking employment in the country. Further, the study offers value to companies recruiting graduate level students from online programs by developing awareness about their integration into a foreign market.

网上学习对德国留学生就业因素的影响——德国与海外留学生的比较

摘要许多研究生在国外参加一个项目，接受国际教育，然后在东道国就业。本研究的目的是评估非居民身份项目对国际研究生在德国未来就业的影响。学生被分为居民和非居民身份，并根据二语语言、德国基本文化价值观的发展和社会资本的创造进行评估。新冠肺炎为评估外国就业准备在线教育提供了一个独特的机会，因为参与者无法自行选择入学状态。来自91名学生样本的结果表明，居民和非居民身份之间存在差异，这可能会导致就业挑战。这一结果的受益者是审查或设计在线课程的国际商业教育工作者，以及大学和高等教育机构，因为他们对提高所有学生的就业能力有深刻的见解，以及在国外寻求课程并有兴趣在国内就业的学生。此外，这项研究通过培养人们对其融入外国市场的认识，为从在线课程中招聘研究生的公司提供了价值。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Teaching in International Business instructs international business educators, curriculum developers, and institutions of higher education worldwide on methods and techniques for better teaching to ensure optimum, cost-effective learning on the part of students of international business. It is generally assumed that the teaching of international business is universal, but that the application of teaching methods, processes, and techniques in varying socioeconomic and cultural environments is unique. The journal offers insights and perspectives to international business educators and practitioners to share concerns, problems, opportunities, and solutions to the teaching and learning of international business subjects.
