  • Students, schools and agents connect in Viet Nam

    Held over a week in late March, ENZ’s Regional Manager East Asia, Ben Burrowes, said the events were a chance to showcase New Zealand’s Future Proof education during Viet Nam’s key recruitment season.

    Held in in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, the fairs attracted nearly 700 students and parents – an almost eight percent increase on the 2018 fairs – to connect with more than 50 New Zealand education providers.

    “As Viet Nam’s largest in-market promotional events, the fairs presented a wide range of New Zealand scholarships, including the inaugural New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS) offered exclusively to Vietnamese students,” said Ben.

    “To promote them, we organised for 31 New Zealand schools in the scheme to visit 20 local schools in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi before and after the fairs.

    “The visits were a great opportunity for New Zealand schools not only to showcase their education offering to prospective students but to explore partnership opportunities with Vietnamese schools,” said Ben.

    ENZ also hosted a School Strategy Workshop to provide New Zealand schools with insights into Vietnamese parent and student study decision-making processes, and different marketing and business development tactics for the market.

    The agent seminars in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi were also a success, with more than 75 local agents attending.

    “Agent seminars play a key role in connecting New Zealand providers with capable education agents in the market. Getting to know the right agents is the very first step for New Zealand institutions to set their footprint in the market through agent network development,” said Ben.

    Viet Nam is a key market for international education in New Zealand. The number of Vietnamese students increased by 7 per cent in 2018 (34 per cent for the high school sector), with over 2,500 Vietnamese now studying in New Zealand.

  • Kiwi students now eligible for internships with NASA

    The announcement was made by Economic Development Minister David Parker at a launch event at the Carter Observatory in Wellington on Monday 27 August.

    “Through the programme, high-achieving Kiwi students will have the opportunity to work in NASA’s best and most advanced research facilities, with access to expert mentors,” Mr Parker said.  

    “Giving our future innovators, entrepreneurs and scientists opportunities to get a head-start in space-related careers will play a vital role in developing a thriving domestic industry.

    “It also strengthens New Zealand’s connection with global space networks and raises New Zealand’s profile as a location for space activities.”

    ENZ Regional Director Americas and Europe, Lisa Futschek, welcomed the announcement.

    “We are more focused than ever on supporting New Zealand students with global learning opportunities as they benefit both the student and New Zealand more generally – and the NASA scholarship is an ideal example of this,” she said.   

    “As the world becomes more connected, young New Zealanders who can live, work and study across national boundaries will benefit greatly.” 

    Students will be able to apply for NASA’s June 2019 internship intake. The internships are for approximately three months.

    The New Zealand Space Agency, which sits within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, has also launched the New Zealand Space Scholarship which will support up to four students to participate in the NASA Internships Programme each year. The scholarship will cover airfares, accommodation, and other associated expenses.  

    Applications open on 10 September through the New Zealand Space Agency.
