Hi Pejush!
A Company Secretary degree under ICSI with a job experience of about 3-4 years gives a variety of opportunities abroad. Many Company Secretaries are already working in various countries like the US, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Middle-east, Africa, etc. With their research and legal bent of mind, their employers have recognised their professional skill sets. After the globalisation of services through WTO and GATS, the field is opening in various countries for practising Company Secretaries as well. India is entering into bilateral Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreements with countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Mauritius etc. These agreements recognize Company Secretaries for free movement of professionals across borders. ICSI has entered into an MoU with the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators, UK. This MoU recognizes Company Secretaries of both the countries on certain conditions. This is opening up the world to Company Secretaries.
