Global Career Speakers

Interested in Sharing Your Story?

You don't need an "international job" to make an international impact. If your work demonstrates how our world is connected—and you'd like to encourage students as they begin thinking about their futures—we invite you to join our network of Global Careers speakers. 

Show Students That Every Career Has a Global Story

When students hear the phrase "global career," many imagine diplomats, international business executives, or people who travel constantly. The reality is much bigger. 

Today's workforce is more interconnected than ever before. Whether you're designing products, caring for patients, writing software, managing supply chains, teaching students, creating marketing campaigns, or running a small business, your work likely connects with people, ideas, or organizations around the world. 

The Global Careers theme helps students recognize that global competence is valuable in every profession. Communication, collaboration, adaptability, cultural awareness, and curiosity are skills that employers seek across industries. Your career journey can help students understand how these skills are used every day.  

Who We're Looking For 

We are seeking professionals from every sector, including: 

• Manufacturing 
• Healthcare 
• Engineering 
• Technology 
• Finance 
• Logistics and Supply Chain 
• Education 
• Government 
• Agriculture 
• Hospitality 
• Retail 
• Marketing 
• Architecture 
• Arts and Design 
• Entrepreneurship 
• Skilled Trades 

If your work connects with international customers, suppliers, colleagues, research, regulations, cultures, or markets—or if global awareness helps you do your job more effectively—we'd love to hear your story. 

What Students Want to Know

Students often ask questions like: 


• What does a typical day look like? 
• How did you choose your career? 
• What skills helped you succeed? 
• How does your work connect to other countries? 
• Have you worked with people from different cultures? 
• What advice would you give someone interested in your field? 
• What surprised you most about your career?  


Why Your Career Matters

Students often underestimate the importance of global skills. By sharing your experiences, you help students understand that success isn't just about technical knowledge—it's also about communicating effectively, appreciating different perspectives, solving problems collaboratively, and adapting to an ever-changing world. 


Whether you work for a multinational corporation, a local nonprofit, a government agency, a startup, or your own business, your story can help students imagine their own future.
