Diversify your talent and international opportunities

º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Careers Network actively seeks to connect with organisations looking to diversify their placement and graduate talent pool and offers a range of methods and activities to engage with our students from diverse groups.

We run the Future Black Talent and Future Asian Talent Programmes for our Black and South Asian heritage students, which are professional development programmes nurturing the diverse talent we have at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ and guiding our students to reach their desired career goals.

As part of this, we partner with many employers to host bespoke events and activities to bring our talented students closer to employers. Activities include panel sessions, information events, employer challenges, competitions, insight days and more. If you would like to get involved in any of these programmes and activities, please email fbtp@lboro.ac.uk.

International opportunities

We welcome and encourage all companies to get in touch and benefit from the great skills and knowledge our international and home students can bring to your business.

Whether you are an overseas organisation interested in recruiting from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ, or a UK employer seeking to hire our international students and graduates, we can offer you the guidance and support you need. We also have some great programmes exclusive to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ that you can get involved in.

UK organisations interested in recruiting our international students

The international student community brings with it a diverse and rich breadth of cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities.  Many possess qualifications and prior experience in employment areas with recruitment gaps in the UK, along with transferable skills that are rising in importance, such as critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving, as well as self-management, active learning, resilience, stress tolerance and flexibility.

The cultural insights and different perspectives that international graduates from different backgrounds can offer make their contribution genuinely valuable, enhance the learning experience for all and very often result in a more suitable solution. Don’t just take our word for it.
