Are your students considering studying in the UK this September or in the near future?
Do they seek your expertise in employability resources while pursuing their studies in the UK?
What insights can you provide regarding university life in the UK?
We are delighted to announce our upcoming Taiwan Agent and Counsellor Webinar, scheduled for 25 June at 16.00 on MS Teams. This event is tailored for overseas study agents, career counsellors, and schoolteachers dedicated to guiding students through their journey towards a degree in the UK.
Our session will commence with an overview of the latest trends in Taiwan’s student mobility and updates on relevant UK policies. Following this, a special guest speaker from The Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (AGCAS) in the UK will share strategies on how to effectively utilise employability resources available to students during their studies, preparing them for both the UK and global job market upon graduation.
Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in an interactive panel discussion featuring members of the British Universities in Taiwan (BUIT) committee. This session will adopt a Q&A format, addressing a variety of important topics, including guidance for students who may need to revisit their offer conditions, as well as insights into health and safety, student life, wellbeing, accommodation, work-based learning placements, and career support options both during and after their studies. Please share your questions with us on the registration form.
Do not miss this invaluable opportunity to enhance your advisory skills and better equip your students for success in the UK.
We look forward to your participation!
