Amidst a backdrop of record youth unemployment in many parts of the world, a new European Commission study released this month shows that young people who study or train abroad gain key skills highly coveted by employers, in addition to learning specific knowledge.
The Erasmus Impact Study found that internationally mobile students are half as likely to experience long-term unemployment compared to their peers who have not studied or trained abroad. The benefit of studying abroad extends to 5 years after graduation, when students who have studied abroad have a 23% lower chance of unemployment.

| Employers' perspective on study abroad |
Funnily enough, the traits valued by employers - such as tolerance, confidence, problem-solving skills, curiosity, self-awareness and decisiveness - were higher in students bound for exchange even
before they went on exchange, and by the time they get back, the differences in these values increases by 42% on average, compared with other students.
