Abstract The recruitment of international students is one way of recruiting foreign talent. International graduates increase the availability of labour if they are able to enter the host country?s workforce upon graduation. This article describes the findings of a study on the employment of international graduates from universities of applied sciences in Finland. Most international students stayed in Finland and were employed. The factors that affected their employment are discussed. Graduates? perspectives on how higher education institutions can support the employability of international graduates are presented. (HRK / Abstract übernommen)
