Working with UKTI
Business and Government Interchange is the exchange of people, through secondments and attachments, to spread skills and best practice between the Civil Service and the private sector.
In UKTI, interchange plays an important role in developing our staff and organisation, helping us to become more professional and business focused.
The seconding organisation and secondee have the opportunity to learn from each other.
