India Career Ready Programme

How does it work?

India Career Ready is a programme of two parts, an online resource for students to work through at their own pace, and a series of virtual workshops running throughout the year.

India Career Ready online includes topics such as;

• How to Impress UK Employers as an Indian Student
• How to Gain Work Experience and Internships in the UK
• How to Find Graduate Jobs in India
• How to Stand Out in the Indian Graduate Labour Market (and Compete with India-Educated Students)
• How To Impress Indian Employers with Your UK Education

Access India Career Ready online

India Career Ready virtual workshops complements India Career Ready online. Each year we also arrange some talks from Indian alumni. Workshops are searchable and bookable on Handshake. 

India Career Ready workshops and sessions

The India Career Ready online content is available for you to access at any time during your studies.

The India Career Ready Programme offers six bespoke employability sessions to help Indian students plan for their career. It is also available to students from any other country who wish to work in India during or after their studies. These sessions have been designed by highly qualified careers professionals to help you understand the recruitment processes in both the UK and India.

All India Career Ready sessions are designed to compliment the online content. You will get the most out of the sessions if you view the online content first. Access India Career Ready here.

Finding Hidden Opportunities

This workshop will uncover strategies to find "hidden" opportunities that are not advertised widely to students. Hidden opportunities include internships, work experience and graduate roles. We will explore strategies including maximising your own networks, building relationships on social media, tapping into networks within the University of Exeter and reaching out to employers.

Visa Regulations and your Career Development

The International Student Support team will co-deliver this session. We will help you understand how your student visa will impact on gaining experience such as internships and part time work. We will also learn more about the new Graduate Immigration Route for any students wishing to work in the UK after your studies.

Pronunciation for the UK workplace

This session, delivered in partnership with INTO, will guide you through the process of improving your English Language pronunciation skills for the work environment. The interactive session will focus on areas of pronunciation that are challenging and provide you with strategies to improve your fluency. You will have the opportunity to practice your pronunciation.

Hear from Indian Alumni

Previous Exeter students discuss their experiences of entering the labour market, both in India and in the UK. An opportunity to ask questions and learn from their graduate journeys.

Hear from Employers

UK based and Indian employers discuss what they look for in graduate hires, and share tips about how you can impress them. A chance to ask for advice.
