► Staff training events
Staff training courses have been developed to meet the needs of careers and employment advisors in their day to day work with international students.
The objectives of the project were to:
-
build on the experience of running the early pilot courses, using and disseminating the labour market information resources, good practice case studies and other resources developed through PMI2;
-
enhance the cultural awareness, knowledge and skills and awareness of opportunities and regulations in specific countries of careers and employment advisors in order to meet the needs of international students and graduates.
Several staff training events have taken place over the past few years to help develop the skills of the careers and employment staff who work with international students. The events which have taken place between 2007 and 2009 are detailed below.
