Counseling Tips – UK
Ranking of UK Universities:
The ranking of universities may be checked from different sources mentioned above. However, the Guardian League Table is the most popular.
We can recommend the UK as an option if the profile shows that:
We should suggest that the student, once in the UK, register with the Career Placement department of the University for assistance in finding full-time and part-time jobs. The student should start searching for graduate-level jobs in the UK from the beginning so that they can find a suitable job by the end of the course.
The focus of the search should only be for UKVI registered Employers having a license to sponsor international candidates. UKVI maintains a Register of Tier 2 sponsors, and currently, there are 30,834 employers registered with UKVI who need skilled people for their work and are ready to recruit candidates.
The student should also search for jobs online at Live Graduate Level Jobs. Engineers are on the shortage occupation list, and the UK needs skilled engineers who can contribute to the economy’s growth.
Overall, if the student receives proper guidance and is proactive, the chances of getting a good job after completing their studies are very bright.
