During our events so far the issue of international employability has often been raised.  This network event will focus on international aspects of employability and enterprise, encompassing issue of mobility, needs of international students, growing interest in and experience of employability, placements and internships abroad.  We are keen to reflect on current research and emerging policy in this area to see where employability and enterprise should sit within institutional and sector-wide internationalisation strategies.
