International graduates in the UK are struggling to secure employment and, as a result, are seeking future opportunities outside the country, a survey has found.
In a recent survey, 72% of university careers professionals reported that Graduate Route visa holders are having their applications refused by UK employers.
Equally, 75% of careers professionals are finding that employers are refusing to offer Skilled Worker sponsorship to international students and graduates, while 70% are also reporting recruitment pauses from employers.
The findings are based on a survey of careers and employment professionals from 35 UK universities.
