Commenting on her appointment Alex said:
“Higher Education鈥檚 importance is ever-increasing, as economies look to train and prepare the next generation of workers and avoid a skills gap. International students bring unique experience and knowledge that can benefit universities, and the skills pool of any economy. I鈥檓 excited to be joining OIEG at such a pivotal moment in the organisation鈥檚 history as it continues to nurture its digital growth portfolio, but also in terms of the direction and opportunities of the Higher Education sector in a post-Covid world.鈥�听听
The development of professional and workplace skills helps to prepare our students to launch their careers. Providing work experience opportunities for students builds their skills and confidence and places them in an environment for growth. Our ambassador Moses, from De Montfort University International College, is confident the experience has been valuable for his future career prospects:
“The skills I have learnt go a long way in helping me prepare for my career. I鈥檝e developed communication and teamwork skills, customer service, problem-solving, organisation and creativity. These skills are critical for my future career in computing and in multicultural workplaces.”
Lil Bremermann-Richard, OIEG鈥檚 Chief Executive Officer comments:
鈥淎fter a period of unprecedented disruption to Higher Education, students rightly have greater expectations than ever on what their university experience should deliver. Fortunately we鈥檝e seen the positive impact tech has on streamlining and improving the admissions process in particular during this time. Alex joining as our first CMO comes as OIEG鈥檚 growth over the past 24 months accelerates.“
鈥淲e are excited to welcome Alex to OIEG to help us and institutions we work with use technology to enhance the student experience, particularly for those from abroad.鈥澨�听
