Cost Sharing and Funding of International Student Career Services: Public-Private Partnerships in the German Context
Schueller, Jessica
Journal of Student Financial Aid, v51 n3 Article 5 Sep 2022
In some countries, employers are viewed as beneficiaries of international student mobility and thus as a funding source for supporting international student programming. In this study, higher education institutions in Germany were surveyed about career services for international students. From the responding institutions (n=141, 33.6%), one key result revealed that over 10% of career services for international students at German universities are funded in whole or in part by local employers, regional development agencies, or employer associations. This cost-sharing model exhibits that employers are increasingly active in providing support and that there is a tendency to fund services instead of scholarships.
