Scotland’s Migration Service has launched its first phase, providing information and advice for international students considering staying in Scotland post-graduation.
“New Scots make an enormous contribution to Scotland’s society by helping grow our economy, address skills shortages and contribute to public services. They are also vital to meeting our population needs,” said Emma Roddick, Scotland’s migration, minister on the launch of the initiative.
The service will provide information and offer individual appointments with trained advisors to international students in their final year at a Scottish university or college and who would like to stay in Scotland after graduating.
The service is also open to employers based in Scotland who would like to hire international workers, people who have moved to Scotland within the past six months and investors based in another country who would like to set up or expand a business in Scotland.
