The Global Fellowship Program was launched for young people to gain an understanding of what it will take to compete in, and contribute to the new global economy. We interviewed four young students who visited Brazil, India and China as a part of this programme, wherein they went to a local school, lived with local host parents and worked with a multinational organisation.  A current student of Kings College London, Nadia visited India as a Global Fellow. What struck her the most was the dedication of the Indian students toward education and the support from their parents and families for the same. She feels that British students are not only competing among each other, but with students all over the world. During her placement with Ernst and Young, she realised it is important for graduates to be prepared for the globalised world of work.
