An International E-Community Engagement Initiative Exploring College and Career Pathways

20241 citationIbn Tofail University

Abstract

This chapter provides a literature review and conceptual framework for a current international e-community-engagement project which is taking place from January through March 2024. Through the initiative, students from five higher education institutions are placed on international teams and are tasked with developing interactive presentations on careers which are delivered remotely to youth in South Africa. The chapter explores the literature on e-community-engagement; first-generation college students; students learning about college majors and careers; near-peer mentoring; international, e-community-engagement; internationalization; global teamwork; and global citizenship. The chapter contributes to the discussion surrounding the impact of e-service-learning in higher education, particularly in remote and international settings. In addition, it aims to stimulate innovative research and programs that prepare youth for the workforce of the future.
