Yesterday we wrote to the Irish Government @EnterInnov. We provided data to underpin our request that spouses and partners of ICTs have direct access to employment. Many thanks to our sponsors @DeloitteIreland @NewlandChase and @fragomen who also provided letters of support.
Huge thanks to all who attended our China sponsor discussion today. Hosts @fragomen and other expert speakers @PwC & @NewlandChase treated us to impressive and insightful perspectives on the current global mobility landscape and good prospects for dual careers policy...
