Tapping into US talent
Businesses have an opportunity to tap into international talent thanks to a partnership between Aston University and the University of Florida. The pilot scheme will give students from the US who are studying at Aston
the chance to gain international work experience while offering local businesses the opportunity to benefit from their skills and cultural perspective. The ‘Aston UK Internship+’ is based around Aston’s placement model
that comprises two parts – a full academic exchange semester at Aston Business School from January to May, followed by a guaranteed graduate- level internship from May to August with a selected UK employer in an industry such as marketing, finance, IT, consultancy, HR or business.

based financial services mutual Wesleyan, believes Trump could ease his stance on steel and aluminium tariffs, relations with China and the European Union and a future North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to avoid harming his Republican party’s chances in the November midterms. It could provide welcome relief to equity markets following a long
period of volatility. Mr Vaudry told the Chamber Podcast: “We are relaxed ahead of the
US mid-term elections coming up that Donald Trump is not going to do anything to harm the Republican chances. “So we expect that after summer is over, NAFTA and the issues with
China and the European Union will all be put on hold. He will, I suspect, suggest that everyone is given a bit more time to consider their response and that response will come after the elections are over.
“So we think there is likely to be some relief coming just after
summer as we go into the autumn ahead of those mid-term elections, which will be good for equity markets.”
