► Language utilisation project

Please note: the pmi2 project and its results were time bound and the advice and information may now be out of date. Please view these pages as archive only. For up to date information on dealing with international students please visit the UKCISA and UKBA websites.

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.
