The Fresh Talent Challenge Fund (International Students) is a competitive fund which aims to support further and higher education institutions to enhance the employability support and mentoring available to international students in Scotland. It also encourages institutions to work collaboratively, both within and outwith the sector, to develop innovative and effective ways of supporting international students to access the Scottish jobs market.
