étudiants internationaux, employabilité, incidents critiques, les transitions de carrièreRésumé
Cette étude donne un aperçu des perspectives des étudiants internationaux en matière de préparation à l'entrée sur le marché du travail canadien. Du point de vue du capital humain, les étudiants étrangers sont des ressources précieuses pour le marché du travail canadien et d'autres pays où la population est en déclin. Cependant, la plupart des recherches sur les étudiants internationaux se sont concentrées sur leur expérience de transition initiale, et les recherches disponibles sur leurs expériences d'emploi se limitent souvent à la transition post-diplôme. Les étudiants internationaux doivent renforcer leur capacité d'emploi en même temps qu'ils étudient, en acquérant une expérience professionnelle locale. Dans cet article, nous présentons une analyse des incidents critiques recueillis auprès d'étudiants internationaux qui met en évidence cinq obstacles clés dans leur expérience du contexte de travail canadien, notamment les politiques et procédures, la concurrence et les conditions économiques, les défis pour naviguer dans les normes culturelles locales, les capacités linguistiques et leurs circonstances de vie personnelles. La discussion établit des liens entre le recrutement des étudiants internationaux et leurs objectifs à plus long terme de résidence au Canada, avec des recommandations pour l'établissement de ponts entre les politiques et les services.
