Refresh of ENZ Recognised Agency programme
The ENZ Recognised Agency is a programme focused on identifying and engaging with proven, committed and ethical education agencies. It was re-launched in late 2018.
ENZ is dedicated to increasing engagement with quality education agencies that have demonstrated a long-term commitment to promoting New Zealand as an international study destination and are successfully placing students at New Zealand education providers.
The Recognised Agency programme intends to allow ENZ to better, and more regularly, interact with high-quality education agents. While it is not a regulatory programme, it is anticipated that education providers and prospective students will have a higher level of confidence in the quality, expertise and commitment of a Recognised Agency.
Recognised Agencies are able to display the above logo.

CONNECT webinar series – A digital update
Richard Kyle, ENZ Business Development Manager, says the first CONNECT webinar later this month will provide an update on ENZ’s digital work programme.
It will cover what the different streams of work are, how they work and, most importantly, what education providers can do to make the most of them.
“The webinar will delve into how our tools can assist your institution to track and measure referrals. It will also be a chance to ask any burning questions or to clarify any aspects you or your institution may have,” says Richard.
“We’ll also talk about some new products we’re developing including an ENZ chatbot, an Outcome of Visa indicator, and ENZ global digital campaign plans for 2019.”
The webinar will be relevant to international staff as well as those who work in digital, marketing or admissions teams.
The webinar will run on Wednesday 24 October from 2.00-3.30pm.
Please note: This webinar is only open to representatives from New Zealand education institutions, government and regional partners.
Check out future editions of E-News for further CONNECT webinar updates.

Market reports moving to IntelliLab
ENZ has previously published information about its priority markets on enz.govt.nz.
However, ENZ has since removed these and replaced them with the in-depth Economist Intelligence Unit country forecasting reports, available on IntelliLab.
Andrew McPhee, ENZ’s Intelligence Manager, said the market reports provide useful insights for industry players.
“The forecasting reports are an independent, specialist and unbiased perspective on our key markets, and cover everything from a country’s demography, business environment, political outlook, economic outlook and market opportunities,” said Andrew.
“The main reports are updated annually, with six monthly updates also provided – making them a current and reliable source of market information.”
Reports are available for Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Europe, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam and the US.
ENZ market factsheets are also being completed, with India and China already uploaded, and more to come in the near future.
The reports on IntelliLab are only available to registered users, who must be New Zealand education providers or officials.
“Registration also provides access to other great reports too, with new research continually uploaded,” said Andrew.

Caroline plays her part in Christchurch rebuild
But she is now a qualified quantity surveyor as comfortable working on building sites as she is back in the office crunching the numbers.
Caroline says it is not a profession she would have contemplated in China, where she grew up, but Christchurch’s rebuild inspired her to pursue a career in the construction industry and she is grateful for the freedom to be able to achieve her ambitions.
“It has been very rewarding to be part of the rebuild and to see the changes in the city. Bettabuilt, the company I work for, specialises in school rebuilds. When we finish a new school, you feel like you’ve done something you should be really proud of.”
And her parents are proud too. They have backed her career choice and know that the bold decision they made to send their only child to New Zealand for education was the right one.
New Zealand a safe place to study
Caroline says they had travelled widely as a family before making the decision that she would come to Burnside High School Te Kura o Waimairi-iri in Year 11. “They wanted me to be open-minded and take on new experiences and cultures,” she says. “They decided it would be good for me to study in another country with a different culture and chose New Zealand because it was a peaceful and safe country.”
Before she arrived, Caroline was set up with a “buddy”, a student from her school in Beijing who was already studying here and helped provide insights into life in New Zealand. She also took an online course prepared for international students.
“This made me feel more confident and familiar with what I was coming to which was important, because the culture and environment is quite different from my home country.”
But there were still some big adjustments to be made when it came to schooling. “All courses in China are set by the Education Department. In New Zealand, you have freedom to choose your own courses,” she says. “At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the options available to me because I didn’t know exactly what I should take. But it was good that I had the opportunity to try courses that I was interested in.”
She also had to get used to a self-directed approach to learning. “It allows you to study in a way which suits you best, which was positive for me. And it means when you start work you have the ability and discipline to study by yourself. I have used methods I learned in high school and university to build my knowledge in the workplace.”
With more free time in her life, Caroline had the opportunity to play sport and even take on a part-time job which she says would not have been possible in Beijing. “That job really helped me because I got to practice English and gain more confidence talking to local people.”
New career opportunities
It was all part of an international education experience which Caroline believes is about much more than study.
“When you’re an international student, you quickly acquire life skills and become much more independent.
You also learn about other cultures because you are mixing with people from many different backgrounds. It was quite an eye-opener for me, but I enjoyed it.”
Once she determined her career choice, Caroline chose Ara Institute of Canterbury as the next step on her education pathway. Starting with a Diploma in Quantity Surveying, she followed it up with a Bachelor of Construction. Job and internship opportunities were regularly shared by their programme leader, illustrating the close ties with business.
The decision to study in New Zealand has taken Caroline on a journey she couldn’t have imagined when she arrived. “In China I would not be working in construction. I would probably have been working in finance or management,” she says. “The environment here changed me and gave me career options I would not have considered at home.”
In the past few months Caroline has secured residency and bought her first house, giving her a real sense of belonging. “I enjoy my work and my life in New Zealand. I love Christchurch and I’m proud to be contributing to the rebuild of the city.”
“I feel really happy that I came here.”
