Abstract

This chapter looks into the experiences of the career and technical students who studied abroad and how their experiences affected them and transformed them in the years since studying abroad. The purpose is to examine the experiences of studying abroad for CTE students attending a rural-based community college. In this study, relevant categories and themes of meaning for CTE study abroad students were identified. One goal of this study was to see if these students' study abroad experiences affected them in the workplace and if the service-learning component of their study abroad experiences led to other altruistic practices.
