Career Summit in Kathmandu to Target Nepali Students Seeking Higher Education in US and Canada

The 'International and Global Career Summit 2026' is set to be organized in Kathmandu, targeting Nepali students aspiring to pursue higher education in the United States and Canada.

The event, jointly organized by Orbit International Education and Str Holdings, is being conducted in collaboration with Empower Financing Company based in the US. Empower provides collateral-free education loans for students wishing to study in the US and Canada.

Str Holdings stated that the summit will take place on the upcoming Chaitra 24 at the Everest Hotel in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, from 10 AM to 4 PM. The main attraction of the program will be the participation of international experts from Empower. The organizers announced that these experts will interact directly with students regarding the financial challenges encountered during overseas studies, especially concerning education loan management.

The experts are also expected to provide information on how to secure education loans without collateral and offer clear guidance on creating a financial plan for studying in the US and Canada.

Since studying abroad is a significant decision for parents as well as students, the organizers have included special sessions targeting both parties.

Information will be provided regarding safety, health insurance, and lifestyle management for students during their stay abroad. Furthermore, post-study opportunities such as the US's Optional Practical Training (OPT) and the benefits of Canada's work permit system will also be discussed.

To make the summit more engaging, Empower will also organize an 'Icebreaker' activity and a 'Kahoot' quiz competition, where participants can win attractive prizes. Initial participants will receive power banks and thermal tumblers as gifts, and one lucky participant will get a chance to win an iPad. The organizers informed that there is no fee to participate in the summit, but due to limited seats, interested students and parents must register in advance.
