What the petition asks
The UK Government has undoubtedly been liberal in accommodating international students seeking employment in the country, after the completion of their studies. However, the challenge for international students, remains in the inability to be hired, due to a non anonymous recruitment system by firms
The Government’s efforts to enable international students successfully gain employment and improve the UK economy is being thwarted by the countless application rejections by firms.
Internationals students who have achieved the required educational background receive non-constructive feedback from employers such as ‘high volume of applicants’ or ‘inadequate work experience in the UK. We need the Parliament to take this action in order to enable international students compete on a level playing field with other applicants
