► Language utilisation project
This project demonstrated the benefits to employers of using international students' language skills.
The objectives of the project were to:
-
maximise the the use of international students' language skills in part-time employment while studying in the UK;
-
introduce international students to the UK employment sector;
-
enhance international students' confidence and opportunties in the UK employment sector, particularly for those wishing to stay here after completing their course;
-
enhance the competitiveness of UK businesses in international markets and work with SMEs that wish to explore international markets, but lack the language and cultural expertise to do so;
-
enable UK businesses to recognise the benefits to be gained by employing international students and increase the likelihood that they will employ international graduates.
