Our question:
How can the UK government foster an environment where international students’ independent careers can grow given student route visa restrictions?
What is Inter.work?
Inter.work advocates for the legalization of independent work for international students in the UK under a student route visa, and in the US under an F-1 visa.
Mission
Leveling the professional development field for international and domestic students.
Inter.work seeks to make the career opportunities that are available for home students equal to those available for international students, which include being able to undertake independent employment (i.e. freelancing) while enrolled in university.
Values
Equal opportunity: Provide the same opportunities in and out of university work to home and international students.
Fair work: Decrease the frequency at which students unjustly undergo unpaid labor.
Magnify international voices: Promote spaces where international students are able to share their experiences.
Higher education access: Against barriers preventing access to quality education.
