If you’re determined to travel the world with your job, did you know that a small number of sought-after graduate schemes allow you to experience international placements as part of your initial training. Some go further and are the springboard for a future career traveling the globe.
Yes, they’re competitive, some have challenging entry requirements (language capability, Masters, experience of living outside your home country) – but think of the rewards.
All packed and ready to go?
