Working abroad and developing an international career
International careers or working abroad is a challenge – working with different cultures, moving to a foreign country, and sometimes changing career paths. Whether you are an employee, a manager or an expatriate spouse, being supported at the different stages in your career helps you to adopt the right reflexes, to take a step back and get to know yourself better, and to judiciously manage the decisions to come.

Challenges of an international career: employees and their partners
Key statistic :
50%
For 50% of expat partners and spouses, an expatriation is an obstacle in their career (Barometer 3 / 2022). And for 75% of expats the return home is more difficult than the departure (Barometer 2 / 2022).
Whether you are an employee or a partner or spouse, choosing an international career path represents taking certain risks.
For the assignee, the challenges are linked to culture, international management, and piloting the next steps of his or her career.
For the partner or spouse, the challenge is in reinventing his or her career despite issues with the local language, visas, the recognition of certain diplomas, and a lack of visibility as to the length of the expatriation.
In all of these cases, support from an Expat Communication Coach Academy expert allows you to understand the different stakes and to benefit from unique expertise.
