We extend the intelligent career framework to support a rapidly expanding nascent and mobile workforce: edu-immigrants. Edu-immigrants undertake international post-secondary education for the purpose of remaining and working in a new country. Interviews were conducted with community stakeholders, which informed the development of a cross-sectional open-ended survey of 374 edu-immigrants. The more resilient relied upon their own coping strategies to seek permanent settlement and career aid. They were challenged by a lack of a perceived legitimate stake and few key “knowing whom” contacts. Universities and community can facilitate the establishment of supportive social and professional networks for edu-immigrants. Our findings contribute by providing new knowledge about the universality of the intelligent career in the context of international education and immigration.

弹性移动劳动力的智能职业：教育移民

我们扩展智能职业框架，以支持迅速扩大的新生和流动劳动力：教育移民。教育移民接受国际高等教育的目的是在一个新的国家停留和工作。与社区利益相关者进行了访谈，这为对 374 名教育移民的横断面开放式调查的发展提供了信息。更有弹性的人依靠自己的应对策略来寻求永久定居和职业援助。他们面临的挑战是缺乏可感知的合法权益，并且很少有关键的“知道谁”的联系人。大学和社区可以促进为教育移民建立支持性的社会和专业网络。
