How Erasmus+ and Turing Scheme Students Can Build a Global Professional Network
Nowadays, fostering an international mindset is of enormous importance for your future career. After all, we all live in an increasingly interconnected world. We can hold meetings across borders without leaving our desks and we can jump on an international flight arriving in time for a conference without losing sleep! What’s more, with government schemes like the Erasmus+ programme and the UK’s equivalent, the Turing Scheme, hundreds of thousands of students and learners just like you have the added opportunity of embarking on lifechanging work and study placements abroad every year. Doing so highlights how crucial having an international mindset is, because these types of experiences place plenty of focus on building connections and partnerships cross-borders. Often, students and learners who return to their home countries following these types of mobilities want to go on to work abroad on a semi-permanent or permanent basis, and employers truly value resumes displaying international work/study placements.
