This month we highlight growth in the UK, but discuss possible skills shortages, and with the MAC review in mind, focus on immigration matters. Make sure you have your say and come along to our Immigration Breakfast on 10 September to discuss these vital issues with experts. We also examine this year’s A Levels results, give advice on applying for a school place in England, and analyse the benefits and costs of an international education. Don’t miss our forthcoming Guide to International Education & Schools and if you want to be included in it, it’s not too late, just click here for details. Our Europe digital supplement is now available online on our website, or as an app, just search "Relocate Global" at the Apple iTunes App Store or the Google Play Shop now. Or, if you're already a Relocate subscriber, you can get the latest content by logging into the App using your subscriber email address and the password “relocate”. We look forward to seeing you at the Institute of Directors on 10 September! Claire Tennant-Scull Online Editor
