An integral component of the Government of Canada’s International Education Strategy, Global Skills Opportunity (GSO) provides thousands of Canadian post-secondary students with invaluable international study and work experiences, strengthening their global skills and competencies. GSO is funded by Employment and Social Development Canada, and jointly administered by Universities Canada and Colleges and Institutes Canada.
GSO is designed to break down barriers for Canadian post-secondary students – especially low-income students, students with disabilities and Indigenous students – so they can participate in study and work abroad experiences. It is also an important step towards achieving Canada’s trade diversification goals and strengthening international networks.
