  • Intelligence portal in the pipeline

    “We’re calling it ‘IntelliLab’ – similar in concept to the SkillsLab and BrandLab but providing vital data and market intelligence,” said ENZ Intelligence Manager, Andrew McPhee. 

    “We plan to roll out IntelliLab in a phased approach, starting with a launch at NZIEC in August 2017.”

    Andrew said IntelliLab will provide a secure, one-stop-shop to a wide variety of existing ENZ intelligence, research products and third-party market intelligence reports. Subsequent developments will provide a more interactive experience, with customised dashboards and searches.

    Providers will be able to use IntelliLab via a single log-in that will also give them access to ENZ’s SkillsLab and BrandLab.

    ENZ will shortly begin approaching potential IntelliLab users to participate in a workshop. This will help ensure that the portal delivers the information that providers and agencies need to better inform their work.

  • Focus on Regional Growth

    This is at the heart of our Regional Partnership Programme, currently involving 13 active regional groups and supporting a wide range of activity, from development of strategies and implementation plans to innovative collaborative marketing and shared services models.

    Earlier this year, regional coordinators from across the country participated in a workshop to share ideas and identify priorities. Common themes included; strategies for working together with local and regional government, the need for robust regional leadership and governance, and the benefits of developing shared services and resources.

    “Regional collaboration is a natural platform for innovation and adding destination value for our customers,” says Greg Scott, Business Development Manager. “There is an enthusiasm across the country for working together and some exciting new developments.”

    Two examples from the South Island of initiatives funded by the Regional Partnership Programme recently are:

    • a Work Ready Programme being piloted by Study Dunedin, working with Enterprise Dunedin, to offer a six-week seminar based programme at the University of Otago, designed for international students who want to find employment in New Zealand after graduation;

    • an India Skills Scholarship Programme developed by Christchurch Educated, working with the Canterbury Development Corporation offering graduate tertiary qualification pathways to employment. One of the first successful graduate engineers has just finished with an A-grade average and is working for construction company, Ganellen, on the Christchurch rebuild.

    Enquiries about the Regional Partnership Programme are welcome at any time, and can be made by emailing greg.scott@enz.govt.nz.

  • Marketing tips for schools

    These topics and more were discussed during The Crowdsource Café session, led by ENZ Business Development Managers Mary Camp and Richard Kyle. The session tapped in on the wealth of experience in the audience by pooling together practical ideas for improved marketing of schools.

    Working in groups, participants shared key tactics they use to nurture meaningful relationships with students, school staff, agents, the local community and alumni.

    “Participants all agreed that our industry is built on relationships. They left the session with the challenge of taking away one thing they could action in the next week. No better time than now to get that action going!” Richard said

    “It’s also great to remember that the ENZ Skills Lab is a rich resource that schools can use, with many tools that take you step-by-step through marketing projects (including digital marketing and PR),” he said.
