To stand out to employers today, international students need more than an outstanding degree.
In every INTO program we provide students from our partner universities with standard skills development. Additionally, our CareerFirst team offers premium employability support to fast-track career success through our Career Boost initiative.
Our services are personalized for international students to keep them ahead at every stage of their journey. That includes exploring careers, building skills, gaining hands-on, professional experience and applying for jobs.
Over 15 years of supporting international students, we have seen that even the most high-attaining individuals can struggle when it comes to securing a job upon graduation. We took our expertise around international students’ needs and put it into embedded employability support across all INTO programs and premium Career Boosts to empower them to go further in their careers, faster.
The UK graduate job market has become increasingly competitive for all students. International students face the added challenge of navigating cultural differences, physical distances and unfamiliar expectations from local industries and employers, often without the same level of services as domestic students. They deserve support that will empower them to exceed employer expectations.
We have designed our premium Career Boost programs to give students everything they need for career success, from deciding where to focus and getting the skills employers expect, to applying those skills and standing out in job applications.
Boosts can be added to any degree, at any stage of study. They are available individually or as a bundle.
Each Boost leverages our partnerships with local and leading employers to help instill in students the skills they need to thrive in modern workplaces. We continuously develop our programs to respond to evolving business needs, market trends and new technologies. If your company or organization is interested in being involved with the program, please reach out.
International students choose universities based on employability outcomes, but for many, the career support available to them falls short. Over 8 in 10 students who travel to pursue a degree in the UK think embedded employability skills are important. Yet, most institutions have no specialist staff to support international student employability.
CareerFirst meets this demand, makes international education more compelling and drives enrollments for our trailblazing university partners.
