  • New Zealand School of Tourism sends students to China

    The new partnership provides Hainan Airlines with a regular pool of professionally trained flight attendants, and enables NZST to offer overseas employment opportunities to its New Zealand and international graduates. All trainees must meet Hainan Airlines requirements and have recognised tourism qualifications from NZST.

            Tip:
    • Try to establish partnerships with companies where international students have a competitive global edge.

    NZST Chief Executive Nicole Domett said it is a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand and international students to work for a successful Chinese company.

    “NZST is privileged to be able to provide Hainan Airlines with enthusiastic, work-ready students to help them grow their business.

    "We look forward to helping more tourism students succeed in this industry.”

    Hainan Airlines conducted its first recruitment interviews at NZST’s Auckland Airport campus in March, where nearly 50 NZST students and alumni competed for the chance to live and work in China. Hainan Airlines employed 13 of the students: seven from New Zealand, four from Korea, and one each from Japan and China.

    Hainan Airlines said the partnership is a valuable way to staff its international route services between China, New Zealand and Australia.

    “Working closely with NZST allows us to recruit highly trained flight attendant students with a global perspective and sense of adventure.

    “We see the friendly attitude, professionalism and in-depth training received by NZST students as indispensable qualities for our internationally-minded flight attendants.”

    Hainan Airlines will travel to New Zealand in October to recruit more flight attendants as part of its twice-yearly recruitment agreement with NZST.

  • Japanese teachers experience New Zealand’s regional schools

    “Waseda University and its affiliated schools are longstanding and valued partners for us,” says Misa Kitaoka, Director of Education in Japan for Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

    “It’s exciting to see the strong regional focus they have chosen for their students’ study in New Zealand in 2023 and hear about the planned growth of the programme.”  

    Waseda University schools will be sending up to 60 students on a group programme to schools in Manawatū and Hawke’s Bay for two weeks in March 2023. The two regions were selected to receive students after taking part in an Expression of Interest process. Close to 80 students have already applied to take part, and Waseda plans to increase the number of participants to 100 from 2024, and to increase the length of their visit in future years.  

    ENZ hosted the familiarisation tour (famil) to Manawatū and Hawke’s Bay from 21- 25 November 2022. Four Tokyo schools took part alongside Waseda University: Waseda University Senior High School, Waseda University Honjo Senior High School, Waseda Jitsugyo High School and Waseda Saga Junior and Senior High School. The famil was co-funded by ENZ and Air New Zealand, and Palmerston North City Council and Learning Hawkes Bay played a major role in helping to organise visits to 14 different education providers.  

    “Through the five-day famil, our regional and institutional partners demonstrated their strengths and uniqueness,” says ENZ’s Director Marketing and Strategies, Patrick Holden, who travelled with the delegation.  

    “Delegates commented on how welcome they felt and how impressed they were to see indigenous Māori language and customs being incorporated into the school curriculum.   The manaakitanga shown by the different institutions was well received, especially the pōwhiri.”

    Misa Kitaoka stressed the importance of destination marketing with support from regional partners.  

    “While decision-making tends to be institution-led in the tertiary sector, decisions for the school sector are often led by the region or city. This famil was a great opportunity for us to showcase the regions first, followed by the education offerings available in the regions.  

    “Japanese school students, parents and educators are also interested in cultural experiences in New Zealand beyond education, including the opportunities to interact with local students and host families, and to embrace New Zealand’s cultural values of diversity and inclusion. 

    “While video-calling offers many benefits and has been vital across the pandemic, bringing famils back into the country means our offshore stakeholders can experience first-hand what New Zealand has to offer. Regional involvement will play a key role in building long-term reciprocal relationships for Aotearoa.”

     The delegation was welcomed on to the Central Hawkes Bay College Marae where they were given background about the history of the marae and given a quick fire class in flax weaving

  • Facebook insights on international students

    With the rise of Facebook Messenger picked as a social media trend for 2017, ENZ’s social communities team have been analysing students’ messages to the Study in New Zealand Facebook page they’ve received since November.  

    The team identified trends and summarised the most common enquiries about New Zealand education levels, course info as well as the top countries that these student enquiries came from. 

    Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager says the results were often surprising, but positive. 

    “It’s interesting that some of the top countries we’ve received enquiries from aren’t markets where we’ve done any proactive marketing – it’s encouraging to see New Zealand is appearing on students’ radars organically.” 

    The Facebook enquiries also indicated that most students are interested in STEM subjects, and postgraduate education. The most common questions focused on course info, costs, scholarships, how to apply – as well as info about visas. 

    “New Zealand is continuing to draw high-value students, and the benefits New Zealand offers international postgraduate students are being noticed,” said Olivia. 

    “The kinds of questions people ask us are about the practical side of study abroad, suggesting that these students aren’t just dreaming about coming to New Zealand, but are already planning and budgeting and taking the first steps.”
