Are you ready for the global market? London

1. Wed 02 Mar

   There is strong evidence that despite the large numbers of students graduating each year, employers face skills shortages and are increasingly looking beyond the Britain for talent (AGR Winter Survey 2009).

   This event is aimed at employers who want to access the UK's untapped international new graduate population and HE Careers professsionals who can help them do so.

   The day has been primarily designed for employers but HE careers professionals may also benefit and are very welcome. Presentations from leading immigration lawyers and the UK Border Agency will explain how to stay on the right side of the ever-changing law.
