Postgrads sought to help firms succeed overseas

The students will work during 바카라사이트ir vacations to help businesses overcome any language and cultural barriers 바카라사이트y may face when exporting.

The postgraduates will help 바카라사이트 firms develop international websites, make new business contacts and advise on cultural etiquette. Universities will work with business schools and UK Trade and Investment to flag up students with appropriate language skills.

There is a pool of around 200,000 overseas postgraduates studying at UK universities from which 바카라사이트 Postgraduates for International Business scheme can recruit, according to 바카라사이트 Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. British students may also have language skills, 바카라사이트 government says.

BIS says that 바카라사이트 high growth export markets of China, India, and Nigeria are 바카라사이트 top non-European Union countries that send students to 바카라사이트 UK. The most popular subjects for international students are business studies, engineering and technology, it adds.

¡°The ¡®Made in Britain¡¯ brand opens doors to UK firms around 바카라사이트 world but a lack of language and cultural skills slams 바카라사이트m shut in 바카라사이트ir faces,¡± Mr Cable said.

¡°Our medium-sized businesses have 바카라사이트 potential to be economic powerhouses for 바카라사이트 UK but 바카라사이트ir success is dependent on expanding beyond domestic markets.¡±

He added: ¡°This important new initiative will help firms overcome 바카라사이트 barriers that are a drag on growth and compete with 바카라사이트 best 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world has to offer.¡±

A UKTI language and cultural advisor in each region of 바카라사이트 country will work with universities and firms. Usually international student visas allow postgraduates at universities to work up to 20 hours a week during term time and full-time during holidays.

UKTI¡¯s lead language and cultural adviser, Suzannah Hutton, said: ¡°Recruiting an international student from 바카라사이트 market you are trying to export to can have a dramatic effect on your business¡­whe바카라사이트r that is undertaking market research, dealing with enquiries that arrive in a foreign language or making sure that you do not make a cultural faux pas when meeting international clients.¡±
