Europe Links International Study Choices to Future Jobs

European countries are encouraging international students to study subjects that are important for future jobs.

France has announced a plan to attract students in areas such as health, technology, energy and space.

France expects its workforce to become smaller in the coming decades.

Germany says many international graduates stay and build careers there.

Graduates can generally look for qualified work after completing their studies in Germany.

Students should think about the kind of work they want in ten years.

Internships, projects and local-language skills can improve their opportunities.
