Study Abroad: Are Stayback and Part-time Job Opportunities and Salaries Driving You?

How do you choose a course, university and country to study abroad? Just ask any student who wants to study abroad: you should consider the course, the university and the country

On what basis? Have you looked at the number of years you have to look for a job after graduation? Looking for a part-time job during your studies? Or the hope of getting PR? Which one would you consider? Have you ever asked yourself a question in the meantime?

In what area will I shine the most? What job can you do for a long time without getting tired and climb the career ladder? Where else in the world is the university with the best course in the career I can pursue?

“The desires and ambitions of those who are going to study abroad by mortgaging the bed and taking huge loans from the banks will be very big.

“The enthusiasm of the children who are preparing to study abroad can be increased and their future will be secured only if they are properly mentored beyond placing them in any course and guide them to the field where they can shine.” That’s what we’ve been doing quietly for years,” says Stenson Johny, director of Movement Education, an overseas education consultancy since 2017.

mentoring; To become a ‘Global Citizen’

When starting the Movement Mentor movement in the field of overseas education, its founders, Stenson Johnny and Manoj Palathinkal, had clear visions; ‘Making every student an accomplished global citizen’. These views are shaped by the life circumstances and career background of both. Stenson spent a year working among students in Sri Lanka as part of her community service. Later moved into HR consultancy and from there into student counseling at a leading university in Thailand. “At that time, I was able to cross the boundaries and see the problems of students in different parts of the world, the crises they faced during their studies and the changes that occur in them in three or four years.

Many people describe studying abroad as a ‘brain drain’. But Study Abroad helps mold a broad-minded generation with a global perspective and global experience. But proper mentoring should be given to the children. If we are sending a child to study engineering in the UK, during the study period we encourage networking in all the associations related to the field of study. By the end of the education, the child will have developed a global perspective,” says Stenson.

‘Off beat’ travel in the study abroad arena

Movements are not generally followed methods. Apart from Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand, they introduce the best universities and courses in Malaysia, Thailand, Korea and Singapore. Children are placed there by checking the skill shortage list of each country and even looking at the faculties of the universities of that country. “I know this is never a popular style. But we both insist that the business must hold true to values, says Stenson.

This style of movement has created a turning point in the careers of many students. When I approached Movementmentor, after listening to my career dreams, they suggested a university in Finland. Today I am studying here. And a professional,” says Omnkar, a native of Kannur, now in Finland. MOVEMENTOR prescribes courses for children after looking at several factors such as emerging job opportunities in the new global scenario, emphasis on practical education and linkages between universities and industry.

For example, the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management in Thailand is a university that introduces MovementMentor to students who want to pursue a career in hospitality. It is the Asian campus of Les Roches, a global giant in the field of hospitality education. The International Hospitality Institute is established by Minor Hotels, the world’s fastest growing hospitality chain. The campus is on four floors of a five-star hotel. That means learning and practical lessons go hand in hand,” says Stenson.

There are many such destinations in every field of study. Movement Mentor finds it and guides the children. Now Movement has branches in Kochi, Thrissur, Kaladi, Chalakudy and Punalur. Movement Mentor sends students to study in more than 2000 institutes around the world. For more information:
