摘要

从决定作为一名学生移居国外到获得永久居留权,这段旅程被形容为一条漫长的隧道。在这段旅程中,最具挑战性的转折点之一是教育移民(EduIms)在从东道国大学毕业后试图获得永久就业。在这项定性研究中,我们探讨了29位高技能教育工作者的职业故事,他们从学生转变为正式员工。通过智能职业框架,我们确定了参与者在过渡过程中发展的职业能力。我们的研究结果表明,一种能力可以用来发展其他能力,这些能力随着时间的推移而相互建立。此外,我们还展示了制定智能职业生涯如何要求我们的参与者解决东道国的宏观背景限制和促进因素,这些因素在确保他们的永久就业方面发挥了重要作用。我们的研究结果为那些有兴趣改善教育工作者的职业前景并从高素质候选人中受益的从业者提供了信息。

Finding a home for your career away from home: Experiences of Iranian highly skilled edu-immigrants in the United States

The journey from deciding to move abroad as a student to gaining the right to stay permanently has been described as a long tunnel. One of the most challenging turning points along this journey is when edu-immigrants (EduIms) attempt to secure permanent employment upon graduation from host country universities. In this qualitative study, we explore the career stories of 29 highly skilled EduIms who have undertaken the transition from student to permanent employee. Informed by the intelligent careers framework, we identify the career competencies our participants developed as they navigated this transition. Our findings suggest that one competency can be leveraged to develop other competencies, which build on each other over time. Also, we show how enacting intelligent careers required our participants to address the host country's macro-context constraints and facilitators that played significant roles in securing their permanent employment. Our findings inform practitioners interested in improving the career prospects of EduIms and in benefiting from a pool of highly qualified candidates.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
