US scholarship offered to graduates - graduate jobs

One lucky graduate at the University of Wales will be heading to the US to develop their business skills.

The graduate will spend up to two weeks at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as part of a new scholarship programme.

While there, they will meet with entrepreneurs, innovation expects and academics to help develop their ideas for a new business.

The scholarship is being run in partnership with Cardiff Business Club.

Professor Marc Clement, vice chancellor of the University of Wales, said he hoped the scholarship would help people to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams.

He said: "The University of Wales believes in bringing the best of the world to Wales and taking the best of Wales to the world. Through our links with MIT, we are thrilled to be able to offer this scholarship to one of our 2009 graduates."

Nearly 26,000 companies have been found by MIT alumni, employing around 3.3 million people.
