New internationalisation resources launched
AGCAS has launched the first of several new resources to help careers services provide better services to international students and graduates. The resources have been made possible by AGCAS's successful bid for government funding under PMI (Prime Minister's Initiative) 2.
Already live is the International Students Community, aimed at any careers professional with an interest in providing careers education, information, advice or guidance to international students. It's a place to share news and information, access resources and find out about relevant events, including AGCAS's own training and conferences. Anyone with an interest in the internationalisation agenda can sign up for email alerts or RSS feeds so that they can be sure of being kept up to date with new items of interest.
The International Media Round Up is a daily update of news stories from the media related to the internationalisation of HE. It enables careers professionals, and others, to monitor the coverage of internationalisation and international labour markets in the national and specialist press.
A workspace for members of AGCAS's Internationalisation Task Group has also been developed. This is an area that members of the group can use when developing new products and services for the use of the wider AGCAS membership.
Coming later in 2008 is a facility to allow AGCAS members in universities and colleges around the UK and Ireland to share teaching and training resources.
