Title: <\/strong><\/p>\n Enhancing the work placement experience of international students: towards a support framework<\/p>\n Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n This article reports the findings from an institutional case study into the work placement experience of undergraduate international students studying at a UK-based university. Given the centrality and importance of the employability and internationalisation agendas in higher education, little published literature considers both and how they impact upon the work placement experience of international students. With past increases in international student recruitment numbers and the drive for students, regardless of their nationality, to gain work experience, there is a need for institutions to better understand work placement from the international students\u2019 perspective. Findings revealed that challenges exist in finding and securing work placement, with critical themes emerging to include placement information, visa rules, culture differences, prior work experience, academic preparation for placement and academic writing ability. A support framework is proposed to assist institutions to consider how they could align their practices to meet international students\u2019 work placement and employability needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Dear colleagues, we are\u00a0very pleased to announce that an article from a CEL funded project written by Kelly Goodwin and myself (Marcellus Mbah) has been\u00a0published online in the Journal of Further and Higher Education.
