Global Indian talent: made in Britain
Dr Sonal Minocha, our PVC (Global Engagement), calls for developing a sector-wide framework for bilateral academic, research and industry partnerships between the UK and India to shape the next generation of global talent for our nations in a recent Universities UK blog post.
She goes on to argue that the UK HE sector trained, but somehow failed to retain, the next generation of global Indian talent that would help the UK Plc flourish. Meanwhile, UK universities can help India fulfil its aspirations to become a global hub for talent thanks to the country’s favourable demographics and large HE output.
In light of PM Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK today and tomorrow, Dr Sonal Minocha emphasised the role that the UK HE sector has to play in communicating the range of opportunities for restoring our relations with India, and more importantly, how these opportunities can and should benefit both countries.
