As a result, study abroad programs have been used as a common method to promote GCE and provide intercultural experiences for students. However, not much research has been conducted to measure the long-term effects of GCE and such study-abroad programs and how these experiences can impact participants’ characters. Employing a qualitative approach, this research delved into phenomenological interviews to reveal how study abroad has worked as GCE to foster global citizens. The subjects of this study experienced semester-abroad programs during their undergraduate program1 at a U.S. university. The research outcomes showed a multitude of insights: (1) research participants developed comprehensive perspectives regarding the concepts of global citizenship and contributing to society, irrespective of their diverse backgrounds; (2) the enduring influence of GCE and study abroad became evident in the decision-making processes related to their career and academic trajectories post-graduation; and (3) study abroad experiences substantially nurtured interviewees’ ability to navigate diverse cultures, to take purposeful action based on their established connections with others, and to perceive differences and interconnectedness. Furthermore, the research outcome showed that enduring skills and traits as global citizens could be acquired throughout the undergraduate program on a daily basis, and these skills include intercultural competence, dialogue, and understanding of interconnectedness. These results not only fill out the existing research gap but also reinforce the effectiveness of young people’s character-building as global citizens through GCE and study abroad programs.","PeriodicalId":483213,"journal":{"name":"GILE journal of skills development","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135168250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on my previous experience as an early career scholar, my current role as a global mentor to emerging scholars, and my decade of research on sustainable careers, I shed light on the profound impact of mentorship for early career scholars. This article uncovers three compelling facets illuminating how mentorship can offer robust scaffolding for these intellectuals. Firstly, we unravel the secret to deciphering the unspoken codes of the academic world, ensuring you are not just a player but a master of the game. Secondly, we explore how taking the reins of your academic destiny can be made more attainable with a mentor's steady support and wisdom. Lastly, we delve into the often overlooked link between mentorship and holistic well-being, emphasising the vital role in nurturing careers and personal fulfilment. Through these insights, we see how mentorship catalyses early career scholars towards heightened productivity, career satisfaction, and an increased likelihood of success in their scholarly pursuits.","PeriodicalId":483213,"journal":{"name":"GILE journal of skills development","volume":"2 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135167016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
