This serendipitous situation was much more a humanitarian outreach to shelter the dreams of the young students than a business opportunity for Jasmin & John Christopher, who owned a successfull immigration services company, Visa2Work, in Chennai. Together, they possessed 35 years of collective international work experience, dealing with skills and qualification assessment for Immigrations – particularly for Australia, Canada, UK and USA. They had also assisted more than 88,000 individuals in migration, international job recruitments & placements, career counseling, and student & investor visas from India. In 2010, Jasmine & John Christopher set up a higher education institute, ‘Cornerstone School of International Studies’ in Chennai, to labor out and create a unique education business model, which would make it possible for these 22 students to chase after their dreams to become motorsports engineers. Through Pearson’s education know-how and global footprint, CSIS had the ability not only to offer students a localized international education curriculum, but introduced a world-view on global education pathways. Pearson makes it possible for both knowledge to be learnt and skills to be formed from work experience, making students instantly employable. In 2012, the institute was branded to ‘Cornerstone International College,’ with the first batch of 30 students transferring to the University of Derby to complete their Bachelors of Engineering (Hons.) in Motorsports. After 7 years of operations and many, many milestones achieved, in 2018, Cornerstone International College was rebranded to ‘Kings Cornerstone International College’ (KCIC) with exciting expansion plans in India and across the borders into the Middle East and Africa.
