• Kiwi mobility in the GIC spotlight

  Brett Berquist, University of Auckland Director International, says while New Zealand counts 4.5 million people onshore, another 15% of Kiwis reside abroad. 

  “New Zealanders travel – for work, for study and for the joy of it. The Kiwi cultural phenomena of the ‘Big OE’ is a key part of this international experience.

  “In particular, New Zealand university graduates have among the highest mobility rates in the world. One in three domestic university graduates are overseas within seven years of graduation, and 41% of doctoral graduates are on their OE within five years of graduation, according to the Ministry of Education.  

  “Traditionally, the OE has been a post-graduation undertaking, but we see that the current generation is keen to begin their OE during study and are particularly driven by employability outcomes. Most Kiwis then return to our shores with new skills and experiences to contribute to our community and economy.”

  In 2017, the University of Auckland received more than 400 applications for 10 eight-week internships in Mumbai, India. Since then, more than 100 students have participated in global internships enabled through ENZ’s Prime Minister’s Scholarships, or self-funded. 

  “Demand is growing for global internships among our students. They understand the value of work-based learning opportunities and increasingly can see the connection to international experience also,” said Brett.

  This increasing interest in offshore learning experiences is encompassed in goal three of the New Zealand International Education Strategy – global citizenship.

  New Zealand representatives from the University of Waikato, Canterbury University, Victoria University of Wellington, Auckland University of Technology and the University of Auckland will present at the GIC on their own experiences in growing participation in global internships, including perspectives from student participants.

  These sessions will enable conference delegates to learn more about how New Zealand is engaging with global internships through analysis and case studies of different models for work-integrated learning being implemented across the country.

  The 2019 Global Internship Conference will take place on 2-5 July, bringing together more than 300 delegates from around the world to discuss integrating employability and internships with study.

• Are you making the most of IntelliLab?

  ENZ’s Intelligence Manager Andrew McPhee encourages all New Zealand education providers working in international education to make the most of this resource.

  “International education professionals want to be as informed as possible before making important decisions – IntelliLab should be your go-to source,” he says.

  IntelliLab is free, easy to access and provides the latest information on student numbers and trends, market information, industry valuations, research, and insights on developments such as the recent downturn in new Chinese students, to help industry make informed decisions.

  “It also includes exclusive content – while the summary dashboards and most infographics are available for anyone to download, the reports and insights are only available to registered New Zealand government officials and international education providers.

  “The interactive numbers tools in particular are popular with users, such as TED (The Enrolments Data), as it enables providers to analyse student numbers over the past five years by their key markets, sectors, and region,” Andrew says.

  Christchurch NZ Programme Manager Bree Loverich says the data from IntelliLab is a key source of support for the work she does at a regional level.

  “We are increasingly asked to provide data insights at a moments’ notice for various stakeholders and to support business cases for our student visitor activities, major events, talent attraction and retention.

  “The support and quality of data provided by ENZ’s intelligence team is outstanding. They have always provided quality insights and analysis to support our efforts to make informed decisions and projects that benefit industry and the student body.

  “They have also made it possible for me to articulate the value of the industry to key influencers in the region. It’s a service that the region has come to trust and we could not be successful without it.”

• Announcing closing plenary speaker for NZIEC KI TUA 2024

  Drawing on his experience leading health care organisations and the health system in Aotearoa New Zealand, including during periods of significant change and uncertainty, Sir Ashley’s closing plenary session will focus on how to lead effectively now and in the future. He will talk to NZIEC KI TUA delegates about ‘leading through change and uncertainty’.   

  “We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, which needs leaders to be agile and adaptable who can lead using different approaches than what we have used in the past. I am looking forward to speaking at NZIEC KI TUA on how we can lead in a world of rapid change and complexity,” Sir Ashley said. 
   

  Lead with Stories workshop by Jehan Casinader  

  Award-winning journalist and speaker, Jehan Casinader, will run a workshop, Lead with Stories at NZIEC KI TUA on 7 August. Casinader has spent 15 years telling compelling stories that resonate with people from all walks of life. He has a thorough understanding of New Zealand’s international education sector – and a degree in public policy.  

  Casinader says storytelling makes global influence possible.  

  “As New Zealand revives its international education sector, leaders and organisations will work harder than ever to engage the hearts and minds of students and partners around the world.  

  “However, in an increasingly noisy digital world, it’s harder to grab people’s attention.  

  "Traditional marketing no longer cuts it. And yet, many of us lack the confidence and skills to tell stories – or we’re afraid to. As a result, our most important messages are never heard,” Casinader says.  

  In his workshop, Casinader will share practical tools that helps leaders and staff from across the sector to tell compelling stories.  

  The NZIEC KI TUA 2024 programme will be available in July.
