It forms part of the broader UK-India trade and migration partnership and offers a unique, flexible route for those looking to gain international work experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2>Who Is Eligible?<\/h2>\r\n    <p>The scheme is available to Indian nationals between the ages of 18 and 30 who hold a degree-level qualification.
