In a world of borderless work and study, a wealth of new opportunities opens up for students and young professionals.

International employers are battling serious skills shortages in several key areas: cyber security, IT, operations and logistics, sales and marketing, education and healthcare. In future, demand for specialised software development and AI skills is expected to soar worldwide. What this could mean for you is a world of job opportunities in a field you’re passionate about.

Why go global?

International work experience is great for your CV, plus it gives you access to a broader professional network, a bigger variety of projects and assignments, and a chance to learn about new places and cultures.

To take advantage of study or work opportunities in English-speaking countries, you may need to take an IELTS test. The world’s most trusted English test assesses your level of skill in listening, reading, writing and speaking English.
