Talk in society often circles around the need for international students and graduates. In technology in particular, international students are seen as a vital part of the future Finnish workforce, and each year the number entering Finnish universities increases. 

However, is this process of internationalising of our graduates actually working? Are we producing an ever more international workforce, or simply gaining tuition fee income, and sending international graduates elsewhere?

In this talk, Owain Hopeaketo will try to answer those questions by analysing both publicly available and TEK survey data. Topics covered will include the trends in internationalisation of technology students, rates of skilled employment and emigration, and what steps could be a part of making Finland a better end destination for international talent.
