► Employer events
This project is to host two high profile events to showcase the benefits and explore the implications of employing international students and graduates. The first event was held in Birmingham in March, and a second event is being planned for December.
The objectives of the project are to:
- provide 30 - 50 employers per event with an understanding of the new UK points based immigration system with speakers from UUK, FCO & the Home Office;
- help employers better understand the benefits of recruiting international students & graduates, with speakers highlighting good practice & successful experience;
- create a networking opportunity for employers, external speakers & HE staff;
- link with the employer engagement work being undertaken by CIHE;
- contribute to the UK’s attractiveness to international students by helping to provide real graduate level work opportunities for international students on completion of their studies.
