• Bringing Us Together – TVET in the Asia-Pacific

  The Global COVID pandemic has put skills issues and innovation on the center stage, as governments, industries, and educators alike work to upskill and reskill workforces disrupted by the pandemic and ensure strong working futures. 

  The APAC TVET Forum will bring together the necessary key groups for effective TVET: Governments, Industries, and Educators.  The Forum will offer Government to Government (G2G), Business to Business (B2B), and System-to-System content streams, then  “bring us together” for a cross-system conversation across the APAC region.   
   
  The Forum will be free to register, and held over two Fridays (5 November and Friday 12 November, 2021) across the following local times:

  • Bangkok, Thailand 09.30-14.00
  • Beijing, China 10.30-15.00
  • AEDT 13.30-18.00
  • Samoa 14.30-19.00
  • New Zealand 15.30-19.30

  We will hear from senior government officials, major companies, international agencies and organisations, and TVET sector leaders from around the APAC region. 

  The New Zealand partners include New Zealand government’s international education agency, its largest private sector vocational education consultancy, and New Zealand’s new national institution for Vocational Education and Training. 

  We look forward to welcoming colleagues from around the region for this high quality and not-to-be-missed event: stay tuned to our social media channels for call for abstracts, registration, and speaker information in the coming weeks, or visit our website: www.apactvetforum.com

• Update from Immigration New Zealand

  Immigration New Zealand is introducing a new Short Term Graduate Work Visa and extending Post Study Work Visa eligibility to better align graduate pathways with New Zealand’s skills needs. 

  These changes will support growth in international education, while ensuring graduates are well placed to move into work that meets New Zealand’s skills needs.  

  The changes include a new Short Term Graduate Work Visa and an extension of Post Study Work Visa eligibility to Graduate Diplomas at NZQCF level 7. The graduate must also hold a bachelor’s degree (completed in New Zealand or overseas). 

  These changes aim to attract and retain international graduates with valuable skills, while maintaining education quality and protecting New Zealand’s international reputation as a great place to live and work. 

  New Short Term Graduate Work Visa 

  Eligible international graduates who completed study in New Zealand will be able to apply for the new Short Term Graduate Work Visa from late 2026. 

  This visa provides up to six months of open work rights, allowing time to look for work and, where appropriate, transition to an Accredited Employer Work Visa. 

  Post Study Work Visa eligibility extending 

  From late 2026, eligibility for a Post Study Work Visa will be extended to graduates who: 

  • have completed a Graduate Diploma at NZQCF level 7 
  • studied fulltime in New Zealand for the full duration of the qualification 
  • have been enrolled in that qualification for the full duration (cross crediting or recognition of prior learning is not eligible) 
  • hold a bachelor's degree, completed in New Zealand or overseas (with no time limit on when it was awarded).

• From the CE: Telling the story of international education

  Kia ora koutou,

  I’m pleased to return with another update and much has changed in recent months. The Delta variant has severely impacted several regions across the country, emphasising the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Despite the challenges we face today, I believe the international education sector will remain a vital part of the future of Aotearoa New Zealand. We have many positive stories to tell.

  Many of us are aware of the broad social, cultural, and economic benefits of international education. However, research shows there is limited public awareness of these benefits. We need more New Zealanders to speak up publicly in support of international education.

  To help us carry this crucial message to all New Zealanders, I am very proud to release Communicating the benefits of international education – a toolkit. This new resource from Education New Zealand is designed to help you find and tell your own stories, in your communities, about the valuable contributions you and your international students are making.

  You’ll find the toolkit on the ENZ Brand Lab. There is a story framework with eight content themes to help you develop your ideas, and advice on how to tell a clear, consistent story and to promote it on multiple communication channels.

  At ENZ we are expanding our own efforts to explain what international education is, how much it matters to our students, our country and our global relationships, and where it is going under the Recovery Plan and the New Zealand International Education Strategy. We have partnered with the award-winning online magazine The Spinoff  to publish a series of feature stories. You can read the first feature on the vital role of international education in keeping Aotearoa connected.

  If recent months have shown us anything, it’s that we are not out of the woods yet. The world has a way to go before we’re ready to welcome each other with wide-open borders, and we are still fighting to retain and rebuild our sector.

  I know that many of you are dealing with the loss of revenue, capability, capacity and global market share, as well as with the impact on your personal lives.

  But your hard work is making a real difference, not only to your students and their distant families but also to the reputation of Aotearoa New Zealand as a place that cares about people, regardless of their origins or beliefs.

  He rā ki tua – better times are coming.
