UWE Bristol

This Talking Talent episode focuses on our International Talent programme, a scheme which uniquely connects UWE Bristol international students with businesses and third sector organisations across Bristol and the South West.

International students can bring a wealth of unique expertise to any business or charitable organisation– from market insight of students’ home countries, through to their cultural and linguistic capital, students can be a real asset to an organisation with a view to internationalisation and diversifying a pre-existing workforce.

Episode guests include Dianne Francombe - Chief Executive Bristol and West of England China Bureau and Jonathan Smith from Make It China.

Episode host Jamie Jordon

Hear Morris's account of this powerful story, recorded at his recent trip to the university.

This Talking Talent episode focuses on the award winning UWE Bristol Equity programme. Equity is a forward – looking talent development scheme launched in response to the disadvantages Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students face upon entering the labour market.

In this extended episode we’ll be outlining the work of Equity and more specifically its career mentoring programme, hearing from employers and academic insight around the benefits of engaging with the scheme.

Research by McKinsey 2015 found that ethnically diverse companies are 35% more likely to financially outperform the national industry median, and therefore their competitors. To find out more about the business benefits of workforce diversity and mentoring partnerships, head to our Equity webpages and be inspired about how UWE Bristol Equity students might make a difference to you.
