Global engagement and strong trade relations are imperative for Saskatchewan to lead and compete internationally. International students bring a global perspective to Saskatchewan and create opportunities for research and innovation.
In collaboration with the international trade offices, the post-secondary sector and government partners, Saskatchewan is building relationships in multiple countries to help strengthen the province's brand, while increasing trade and investment opportunities.
Saskatchewan will increase its global and market engagement by:
- developing strategic partnerships;
- increasing the profile of international education;
- working with the federal government on issues related to international education; and
- enhancing inter-ministry relationships and global engagement opportunities.
