Yuchen Zhang, Graduate student majoring in Accounting, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The Principal Financial GroupThe trip to the Principal Financial Group was very informative. We were able to explore different campus buildings and experience corporate culture within the company. The most beneficial part to me was the interaction with Hanna and Raymond, who shared with us their path towards successfully getting a job or even a career with the Principal Financial Group. It was very insightful to receive their first-hand information and advice. More importantly, the HR manager kindly provided guidance to us as to how to apply to potential job opportunities for international students. If we had a little bit more time on campus, I think it would be even more efficient if students could divide into different groups by their majors and meet with staffs from the respective department. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour.

Kum & GoThe store visit to Kum & Go was very inspiring. We had the chance to meet managers from different departments, from construction to marketing. I was particularly intrigued by the chain store’s concept of using green energy and recycled material in the store. Moreover, the manager also touched on the tax incentives behind using green technology, which connected what I’ve learned in school to real life application. This chain store’s strategy also allows me to see itself as a differentiator among its competitors in the industry.

Wells FargoI would say the visit to Wells Fargo was the most interactive one. We were divided into smaller groups, and each group was led by a staff. During the tour we were able to communicate with our panel leader and ask specific questions. My leader shared with us the company’s values and culture, with special emphasis on the diversity program that Wells Fargo offers which separates Wells Fargo from other corporate companies. Overall, the tour was very effective in the way that students had the opportunity to establish a more personal bond with the panel leader.

Kiere Keil, high school student at Des Moines Central Campus

During the 2012 International Mentoring Program through USEWB, I gained

knowledge that will help me in the future, with jobs, employers, resume critiquing, as well as in the future planning. I met with recruiters and Corporate Management who took their time to go through step by step plans in making my career life healthy and prosperous. I was able to gain a new look on my life, and what steps to take in the path I need to take. The IM gave me contacts that will help me if I ever have questions on career building, and resume challenges I may face. Through this program I am more knowledgeable and will be able to face future challenges more confidently. I am glad I had the opportunity to attend the International Mentoring Program, and think that the other students are just as appreciative of the new knowledge gain. I know that I can contact the Employers anytime I need to, and they will be happy to respond with their skills and knowledge openly. Due to this program I will be a better leader in making decisions that will help my goals. Thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers, as well as all who shared their experiences, and to the United States Education without Borders!

IM students meet with Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz, Iowa Agricultural Secretary Bill Northey, Iowa Auditor of State David Vaudit, and Iowa Treasurer of State Michael Fitzgerald, at the Governor’s Office, State Capitol, November 19, 2012.

April 11, 2013

We are excited to be increasing cooperation with USEWB. I believe that the USEWB model of recruiting qualified students and mentoring them through graduation and beyond is superior to other models and fits well with the Truman values of challenging coursework, broad-based student centered learning and fostering transformative experiences such as undergraduate research, study abroad, internships and service learning.

I look forward to working together.
