It’s a small world so why not do an international work placement and see a little more of it?
International work experience can catapult a graduate into a rewarding and challenging role
65% of graduate employers think that candidates with international work experience are more employable! Experience of working overseas and immersion in a different culture can catapult a graduate into being considered for a rewarding and challenging role.
Global employability skills which take into account an international dimension are increasingly expected by many employers.
International work experience is one of the best ways to build a global skill set. Recruiters are looking for graduates to have experienced real-life work situations and started to have developed understanding of the commercial world before they apply for a job.

“The value of international experience goes beyond purely the acquisition of language – it lies in the ability to see business and personal issues from other than your own cultural perspective.”

“I believe that I have enhanced my employability as I have had an experience that not many people will have had, while also proving that I am adaptable to new environments, and am comfortable living in foreign countries.”
