Yes, your three years of work experience as a Project Associate are valid and will strengthen your study abroad applications.

Universities often value relevant professional experience, especially when it aligns with your intended field of study. Your background can enhance your profile and support your eligibility for programs and scholarships that require or prefer work experience.

Make sure to include detailed documentation, such as experience letters and salary slips, to clearly demonstrate your experience in your application. If you need help presenting your work history, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.

Yes, your work experience in private school coaching and teaching is valid for study abroad applications. This experience shows valuable skills like communication, leadership, and subject knowledge, which can strengthen your application.

Its impact is highest if your experience relates to the course you are applying for (such as education or a related field). Make sure to include a detailed work experience certificate with your application, showing your role and responsibilities on official letterhead, signed, and stamped by the school.
