Description

Relocating abroad to the United States can be a rewarding and exciting experience. However, going into an unfamiliar workplace environment can also raise a myriad of questions. Do I relate to my coworkers in a particular way now that I’m in a different culture? Do I manage my career in the same way as I would in my own country? Who do I turn to for support? This course addresses these questions by describing key aspects of the American workplace that you may be unfamiliar with. It covers how to deal effectively with the diversity you’ll likely encounter in an American setting, what the expectations are for being a boss or subordinate in an American workplace, and how you can manage your career in a new environment. The course also explains the types of orientation and support programs you should take advantage of as you adjust to your role in an American organization.
