Return & Connect: Expanding and enhancing careers services for international students

International students choose a university not just for their studies, but for their future. Return & Connect helps universities expand and enhance their careers services, ensuring students have the tools, networks, and insights to succeed - wherever they go next.

Why it matters

Career success is key to student satisfaction. More than ever, proven career pathways are essential for universities to attract and retain international students. That’s why we’ve invested in key student markets, building people-powered solutions and cutting-edge technology to connect universities, employers, and graduates.

Global careers, powered by people and technology

We’ve built:

  • A team of careers specialists in China and across Southeast Asia, with India coming soon.
  • Return & Connect Online, a platform designed to match international students with internships and jobs at leading companies in their home countries.

How we support universities

Internationalising careers services

We help universities make their careers services more relevant and effective for international students returning home. Through localised insights and strategic connections, institutions gain access to:

  • Market intelligence from key student source countries
  • Offshore Careers Fairs and Careers Weeks to link students with global employers
  • International work placements, helping your students gain experience worldwide.

Connecting global employers

Universities need strong employer networks, but building them across borders is challenging. We help institutions:

  • Provide internship and job opportunities for international students offshore
  • Strengthen reputation with global employers
  • Create localised mentoring programs for returning students

Supporting student recruitment

Career outcomes matter when students choose a university. We help institutions:

  • Bring careers professionals and alumni insights into international recruitment.
  • Enhance in-country recruitment events with real career success stories.
  • Develop offshore alumni ambassador programs to inspire future students.

Return & Connect ensures that international students don’t just graduate - they thrive. With expert support, real-world connections, and a clear path to career success, we help universities open up a world of opportunities for their students.

Return & Connect is a great idea that tackles a challenge that all universities face in providing accurate and timely employer connections to students that graduate and seek to return home, but it also simultaneously provides available in-market resource to strengthen all important institutional alumni activity. I wish them every success.
