Helping Universities Develop & Offer Inclusive Career Services
I’m Jessica Schüller, and my work supports:
international students and young professionals with launching and growing their careers in Germany;
higher education institutions with developing inclusive career services for international and domestic students.
Supporting international students interested in launching and building a career in Germany with transparent, evidence-based, and actionable career information and guidance.
Mission & Philosophy
Targeted international career support benefits individuals, but it is also a service to society. Aligning the expectations of students and employers in Germany plays a central role in my trainings. My philosophy is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills that will advance them personally and professionally and enable them to take responsibility for their own international careers for years to come. I work from the belief that exceptional preparation gives each person the chance to be invited to interviews, to conduct them with confidence, and to employ a strategy to land a suitable job. International career support plays a key role in promoting inclusion and access to employment opportunities.
Method
I also make a point of keeping up to date with the latest research in the areas of (international) career coaching, labor market developments, and higher education policy. My doctoral research focuses on the internationalization of career services and I previously conducted a study on career services for international students offered at universities across Germany. As a result, both the workshop participants and universities I consult with benefit from the current developments, findings, and trends. All of my workshops are original and designed carefully based on proprietary pedagogical approaches such as the guided by the 3C Germany Model™ and instructional concept.
Workshops, Services & Concept
I offer workshops in two main areas:
1) career workshops focused on Germany for international students
2) workshops for international career preparation
In addition, I also support universities with developing strategies for creating inclusive career services for international students, and with developing study and internship programs in Germany that focus on career development.
Both the workshops and services I offer are informed by research and practice.

With its sensible structuring, the workshop invited people to participate and implement feedback. Jessica's open approach and her commitment to all participants, even after the workshop, made everyone benefit. Last but not least, her comprehensive knowledge of career management across various disciplines must be mentioned, which goes far beyond the scope of the actual workshop.”

“From the very start of her work with us, Jessica exhibited high levels of critical & analytical thinking, initiative and creativity. As part of her work she independently managed a European, multi-stakeholder Knowledge Alliance project, with very little supervision, delivering high quality outputs as a result. What I admire about Jessica apart from her professional acumen is her authenticity, integrity and professionalism. She is a confident and eloquent presenter in front of top-management stakeholders and anyone would be thrilled to have an all-round professional of her caliber on their team. Despite Jessica leaving our team, I look forward to finding different avenues of collaboration with her.”
