ICEF Podcast: Bridging the skills gap: Preparing international students for their future careers

In this episode, ICEF’s Craig Riggs and Martijn van de Veen discuss the latest developments in our sector, including the surging demand for vocational training in emerging economies and new AI tools that aim to ease the housing search for international students.

The episode features a special discussion on the skills that international students need for career success – and that are most in demand by employers – with featured guests Scott Cederbaum, Head of Degree Marketing for Coursera and Andy Hockley, the Academic Director at Bell Teacher Academy.
