Placement anxiety continues to pose a significant psychological and professional challenge for undergraduate students. This paper explores the strategic role of international student exchange programs in mitigating this anxiety and promoting
career readiness. Drawing on contemporary theories in intercultural learning and psychological adaptation, the study argues that global academic exposure cultivates self efficacy, adaptability, and emotional resilience among students. The discussion emphasizes institutional responsibility, pedagogical frameworks, and policy support essential for integrating exchange programs into the broader goal of employability development.
