"Internationalisation in the skills sector is about changing lives"
Internationalising the Skills Sector, British Council, June 2017
2020/21 saw ColegauCymru commission research into internationalisation in the further education sector in Wales. A key recommendation in the subsequent research report was to ‘formalise the sector’s commitment to international collaboration through the development of a strategic plan for the sector so that, in the long term, internationalisation becomes embedded in the FE curriculum’.

Internationalisation in the FE sector in Wales
Arad Research, May 2021
“CollegesWales International is committed to taking forward the recommendations from the report with the support and guidance of a newly formed strategic International Group. This will include representatives from all of the FEIs in Wales, chaired by Andrew Cornish, Principal of Coleg Sir Gâr/Coleg Ceredigion, and will focus initially on developing a strategic international plan for the sector.”

CollegesWales International supports the internationalisation of the further education sector in Wales in many ways:
- Facilitating international enrichment opportunities on behalf of the sector to bring a global dimension to as many areas of college life as possible.
- Recognising the importance of ensuring that qualifications undertaken in Wales are understood and recognised in other countries so that learners, staff and workers can study, train and work abroad.
- Disseminating information on commercial, funded and partnership opportunities to our members.
- Supporting FE colleges with general advice on international student recruitment.
