The new initiatives launched at the annual conference would encompass an increased online offering to make students and staff aware of international opportunities, and “culturally significant and identity-specific direction” for students already abroad or preparing to go.

The company will also produce an update to its Access, Act of Including, Diversity and Fairness Roadmap for institutions and professionals, and launch its first professional certification on ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ in international education and cultural exchange.

In a press conference release, Diversity Abroad CEO Andrew Gordon explained the coming five years would not witness a revolution at the consortium, but a shift in the delivery methods employed.

The company has changed its aim: That the coming youthful generation from divergent and poorly-represented backgrounds are equipped with the competencies, knowledge, and international acumen to thrive in the modern inter-related world and competitive labour force,” he said.

“No matter the extent, our way to realising our vision has been revisited and promoted to ensure our continued efficacy in the years to come.”

 The effort to prove efficacy not withstanding is the launch of trending Student Advising Courses, which comprise of a series of short videos accompanied by work sheets. These will be accessible online for partner institutions.

This suggestion will cover “culturally important and identity-specific information, methods to steering micro aggressions internationally, and cultural adulting”.
