  • Meet Up at NZIEC

    Meet Up sessions are informal opportunities to connect with delegates during the networking breaks on particular issues or topics.

    How do they work? Simply suggest a topic or topics you’d like to discuss. We’ll collate the responses and coordinate the Meet Up topics and times. It will be over to you to strike up the connections and the conversations.

    If you have a burning topic you’d like to talk to others about, let us know. Perhaps it’s homestay management, using technology in back of house operations or you’re in a sole charge position and want to connect with colleagues in a similar situation.

    Whatever the topic, just let us know and we’ll do our best to include it.

    We’ll publish a list of Meet Up sessions through the Conference App when it is launched next week.

  • Special offer on ICEF Academy NZ Education Agent Course

    ICEF Academy, the professional training arm of ICEF, has launched a new online course that is designed to equip education agents with the resources they need to provide the highest quality of guidance to students wishing to study in Aotearoa New Zealand.   

    The New Zealand Education Agent Course (NZEAC) has been developed in collaboration with Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and adds to the ICEF Academy’s portfolio of destination training. 

    ICEF is now offering a promotional rate for readers of E-News. Education agents can use the code NZEAC30 during checkout to purchase the exam with a 30% discount. This offer is available until 31 December 2024.  

    Since its 27 June launch date, the course is already proving popular. As of 14 August, 618 education agents have enrolled in the course, 532 have started, 127 have completed the course, and 16 have graduated.  

    Commenting on the course’s uptake, Sahinde Pala, General Manager Sector Services at ENZ said it was encouraging to see that the course was proving popular amongst education agents.  

    About the course itself, she said “The course offers comprehensive insights for education agents to help them advise students on study in Aotearoa New Zealand. It will help them become better informed about the country’s policies, culture and education system so that their advice to students is current, accurate and helpful.” 

    In undertaking this course, education agents will have the opportunity to study modules which will encompass New Zealand’s culture and history, education system, work policies and legislation, as well as effective student recruitment and support. The course is self-paced and free, however those seeking to highlight their knowledge as a destination New Zealand specialist have the option to undertake a paid certification exam, for which the 30% discount applies. 

    Education Agents interested in learning more about the New Zealand Education Agent Course can learn more at: New Zealand Education Agent Course (NZEAC) | ICEF Academy. Education agents are also reminded to register with AgentLab to keep up-to-date with all agent-related news and information.   

  • eVisas and VisaView coming soon

    From 7 December, eVisas (passport-free applications and label-less visas) will be available for many students who apply online, joining the one thousand applicants who are applying for visas electronically every week through Immigration ONLINE.

    At the same time, New Zealand education providers will become able to use Immigration New Zealand’s VisaView service to check whether a non-New Zealand student can study with them.

    eVisas

    INZ will extend eVisas to the following online applicants:

    • People applying in New Zealand to renew their Work, Visitor and Student visas (except Chinese nationals)*

    • People from visa-waiver countries applying outside New Zealand for a Work, Visitor or Student visa (citizens of visa-waiver countries do not need a visa to travel to New Zealand as a tourist for less than three months).

    These applicants will not have to send in their passports to INZ when they submit their applications online. The visa holder will receive their visa approval notification through their Immigration ONLINE account, and may print their visa record from their account. This notification contains visa details, including travel and other visa conditions.

    Visa holders are advised to carry their visa approval notification when they travel. Online systems allow airlines to confirm that a person can travel to New Zealand, but the visa approval notification can be used as an additional confirmation if requested.

    Further information about eVisas is available at www.immigration.govt.nz/eVisas

    Visa transfer to new passports

    Because visa details are linked to passports, people who obtain a new passport after being granted their visa need to transfer their visa details to their new passport. There is potentially a greater risk with eVisas that visa holders may neglect to transfer visa details to their new passports. For explanation of how to transfer visa details, see here. 

    VisaView

    VisaView is an online visa enquiry system that is being extended to education providers from 7 December 2015. It will enable providers to check whether a non-New Zealand citizen can study with them.

    VisaView is currently used by employers to check migrants’ eligibility to work in New Zealand.

    What happens next?

    We will email education providers when VisaView is launched, with a link inviting them to register for a VisaView account. A detailed user guide will be available.

    There will be some opportunities for education providers to attend face to face training sessions in a few centres during December and early February.

    * INZ is liaising with Chinese authorities and plans to implement eVisas for Chinese nationals during 2016.

  • Applications are open for the Europe and Latin America Engagement Fund

    The aim of this funding is to support engagement activities with education agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia. New Zealand institutions are welcome to submit proposals and apply for up to $3000 per project. We will fund up to 15 projects that focus on engaging with agents from Europe, Brazil and Colombia.

    ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said ENZ has a strong and loyal network of agents in Europe, especially Germany and Italy.

    “They are keen for support and engagement with New Zealand institutions, and welcome opportunities for events and promotional activities. This initiative is a wonderful opportunity for New Zealand education providers to promote their education offering through building education agent networks.” 

    Proposed activities should be completed during the second half of 2023 and have firm goals and outcomes in place. Examples of activities are a scholarship campaign, contribution to bringing an agent to New Zealand for a famil, or supporting a trip to attend an event organised by agents.

    ENZ’s Director of Engagement – Latin America, Javiera Visedo said education agents in Latin America are keen to learn more about what a New Zealand education has to offer, with students excited at the prospect of studying here. Reconnecting with New Zealand education providers is a top priority for them.”

    Applications are open to New Zealand institutions only. This includes New Zealand education providers such as universities, Private Training Establishments (PTEs), English Language Schools (ELS), regional economic development agencies, schools, and peak bodies. Some providers may wish to work together to submit their applications, for example high schools or ELS.  

    To apply, visit this page. Once applications close, they will be reviewed by a panel of ENZ staff according to the guidelines included on page 5 of the Request for Proposal document.

    We will host an information session about the funding and how to apply on Thursday 27 April at 9 am. To register for the session, fill out the form here.

    • Applications are open until Friday 12 May at 5pm and applicants will be notified of the outcome on Friday 9 June. 

     

  • MyStudy NZ WeChat mini programme gets a refresh

    MyStudy NZ is our intelligent matching tool which matches prospective students to courses and institutions in New Zealand based on a set of questions and areas of interest. It can be found on www.studyinnewzealand.govt.nz for our western markets.

    However, for our China market who predominantly use WeChat, we developed a mini programme for them in November 2018.

    The new version of the mini programme continues the original smart matching, but is more user-friendly and personalised, making it easy for students to obtain official information about application.

    How is 2.0 better than 1.0? We believe it’s better in eight different ways: 

    1. Social sharing enabled – Prospective students who come across their dream school can now share it to a WeChat friend or group chat immediately. The recipient can open the mini programme and view the details of the school as well.
    2. One-click authorisation – Students won’t have to fill in all the details to become a member anymore. With one click, prospective students can authorise their WeChat accounts to become registered MyStudy NZ members.
    3. Clear living costs displayed – Once prospective students get a match, they can expand and view the annual living costs in a pop-up window.
    4. You can see the latest content with added filter – Without registering, students can view the latest OA articles and filter based on views or posting date.
    5. UX (user experience) optimisation – Users can now choose paths when entering the mini programme.
    6. Complete UI (user interface) update – To remain consistent with the refreshed ‘I am New’ brand.
    7. New notifications – Push notifications will be sent to remind students to register, do course matching, bookmark favourite schools and talk to them.
    8. Speed optimisation and no more errors – We have done some coding optimisations and upgraded our server so the mini programme will load faster and users shouldn’t receive any more error messages.

  • Opportunity to meet the ‘Voice of the Oceans’ crew in Auckland in November

    What is the Voice of the Oceans (VOO) Initiative? 

    VOO is a maritime expedition that began in August 2021 in Brazil by New Zealand alumni David Schurmann and his family.  David is a globally renowned film maker and environmentalist, former NZ secondary school and Auckland University of Technology (AUT) film student.  

    VOO’s mission is to examine and record the environmental state of the oceans including plastic pollution so that this data can raise awareness and inform education, science, and innovation that improves the health of our oceans. It has the global support of the United Nations Environment Programme. 

    The VOO crew will arrive in Auckland to mark the end of the first stage of their journey, after travelling for two years and visiting more than 100 destinations, recording the levels of plastic pollution they see as they go.  

     

    Who is David Shurmann?   

    Living and studying in Aotearoa New Zealand inspired David to create VOO. He first came to New Zealand as a child when sailing around the world with his family and decided to stay on to study here. 

    His study led him to tell the story of his family’s connections to NZ, including the sister he gained, through film. David directed Little Secret to tell his story, this film went on to be nominated for an Oscar in the 2016 Academy Awards. David said that the decision to complete the first stage in New Zealand was straight forward due to the close relationship they have with our country.  

     “Our relationship with New Zealand goes beyond the sentimental ties however as we recognise New Zealand’s leadership in its conservation of the environment, and particularly the marine environment. In our travels we share with other countries, the sustainable and best practices that we see here in New Zealand, including its waste management and the prevention habits and practices of waste entering the ocean,” said David.   

     

    The Event  

    To celebrate their arrival, the Latin America New Zealand Business Council has organised this event on November 3 to bring together experts in the fields of sustainability, innovation, the environment and climate change to join David on a panel discussion on the topic of sustainability and innovation. Following the discussion, event participants can visit the KAT sailboat moored in the Viaduct harbour. 

    The event will have the participation of His Excellency Marcos Arbizu, Ambassador of Brazil and Dr Matthew O’Meagher, Director of the Latin America Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence.  

    Event panellists include: 

    Please join us to recognise the important trip the Schumann family have taken so far and engage in a discussion about sustainability and innovation.

  • Teaching the world about New Zealand

    To better market New Zealand as a study destination, we’ve added hundreds of high-resolution images, videos, infographics and case studies to the New Zealand Story toolkit.  

    What is the New Zealand story?

    New Zealand Story is an initiative that brings together expertise from the private sector and Government agencies, including NZTE, Tourism New Zealand, Education New Zealand (ENZ) and more. Our purpose is to help define the things that make us unique as a country and give us a framework to share our New Zealand story with the world. Our toolkit is a big part of this. The New Zealand Story business toolkit resources are consistent with and support the resources available to you in ENZ’s Brand Lab.  

    How the toolkit can help

    When people choose to study overseas, they leave behind their friends, their family and their comfort zone. So when deciding on a place to go, they’ll want somewhere that’s not only tolerant of foreigners, but welcoming and friendly. The toolkit is packed with resources that highlight our open hearts and open minds.

    Chances are they’ll also be keen to experience a new culture and way of life. There’s nowhere quite like New Zealand for a unique cultural experience, and again, the toolkit has a huge range of images, videos and case studies that showcase our open spaces and can connect your brand with our country’s great lifestyle and rich culture.

    Lastly, it’s important to remember that they’re coming to study. New Zealand is world-class in many areas, including sports, tourism and education. Combine that with our reputation for creativity, innovation and ingenuity and we really are an ideal destination for those looking to kick start their career. Our toolkit features more than just pretty landscapes – it’s also packed with resources that highlight our expertise in these areas.  

    Craft your own New Zealand story

    Stories bring ideas to life in a way that makes them both memorable and shareable. And whether you’re a school, a tertiary institution or another education provider altogether, that’s exactly what you need to stand out from the crowd. The toolkit can help you tell your story in an engaging and compelling way.  

    Go check it out

    Register at nzstory.govt.nz for free access to all of the assets in our toolkit. You can also subscribe to the New Zealand Story newsletter to keep up-to-date with new content, research and case studies.
