In response to the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education\u2019s report on \u2018Supporting and Enhancing the Experience of International Students in the UK<\/em>\u2019 which highlighted the need for universities to engage with employers, promoting the international student body as a talent pool of cultural knowledge, language skills, and international contacts, UWE Bristol has formed the International Talent Scheme.<\/p>\n

The scheme enables international students to access UK businesses and work placement activities whilst completing their academic studies. In turn, these students provide UK organisations with valuable international perspective with a view to trading overseas. \u00a0Employers are able to access a wide portfolio of export services such as translation and interpreting, researching and identifying new markets, liaising with key suppliers, customers and clients in specific markets, and providing cultural insight.<\/p>\n

Dr Nick Wilton, Academic Director for External Engagement in the Faculty of Business and Law at UWE Bristol, asserts that student insights are enhanced by the school\u2019s curriculum design that develops critical graduate attributes, including global citizenship and cross-cultural awareness.<\/p>\n

International Talent works closely with regional SMEs and International Business Councils to promote engagement opportunities and project activity.<\/p>\n

A case study from Phineas Products Ltd showcases the exciting scope and versatility of the International Talent programme:\u00a0 “Liliana took the role of launching our company into the Spanish and South American markets. With the aid of a UKTI OMIS market report she was quickly able to identify the key players in our target market and start communicating with the decision makers. Her native Spanish language was invaluable in building relationships with key buyers in PLC corporations and understanding the market in depth\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n
