Professional Training and CoachingIllinois, United States2-10 Employees

ICAway is a professional training and coaching firm based in Chicago, Illinois, that focuses on advancing international student success through cross-cultural insight, advisor education, and workforce transition strategy. The organization aims to bridge gaps between student intent, advisor interpretation, and employer expectations by developing human-centered advisory systems that support international students during critical transitions, such as networking, job searching, and post-graduate work authorization. Its flagship initiative, the International Cross-Cultural Advisor Academy (iCEP), provides a system-level training model designed to align campus-wide advising with international student career pathways across advising, career services, and academic environments. ICAway serves universities, advisors, and student support professionals as its primary audience, offering practical frameworks to address cultural, behavioral, and structural pressures faced by international students throughout their academic and career journeys. The company identifies its work as operating within the professional training and coaching space, emphasizing cross-cultural understanding and coordinated on-campus support to improve international student outcomes. A notable recent development is the expansion of participation in the iCEP program from a pilot group to a broader cohort across multiple departments, with recognition of its partner institution, University at Albany, as a finalist for a national award in internationalization efforts.
