  • Help shape Auckland’s future

    Henry Matthews, International Education Manager at Study Auckland, which is part of Auckland Tourism, Events & Economic Development (ATEED), said it was an exciting time for Auckland.

     Auckland is experiencing record numbers of international and domestic visitors choosing it as a destination to study, play, work and invest.

    “When the Auckland Visitor Plan 2021 was first released in 2011, the 10-year aspiration was to grow the annual value of the visitor economy from $5.3 billion in 2011 to over $8 billion by 2021.

    “If current trends continue, we will achieve this target much sooner than expected, given visitor spending is already reaching $7.8 billion a year.”

    At the same time there has been a great deal of change in the international education sector since the original Auckland Visitor Plan was developed, Henry said.

    “With this in mind, the timing is right to work closely with the international education industry to develop a fresh strategic framework for the key components of Auckland’s visitor economy: international education, tourism, major events and business events.

    “We have planned further engagement with partners across Auckland’s destination economy and to develop this growth strategy.

    “The survey is a key step to start this process, so we welcome the international education sector’s ideas and perspectives regarding opportunities to create long-term, sustainable growth.”

  • International intern programme helps Kiwi exporters

    The International Markets Insights Programme, an intern programme at Victoria University of Wellington, brought together 15 international students from eight countries in Asia, the Middle East and Europe with Wellington businesses looking to export to those countries.

    The students provided the exporters with vital information about their home countries to help the Kiwi businesses break into those markets.

    Specially designed workshops were an integral part of the programme. Led by international business experts, they covered topics as diverse as digital marketing, intellectual property, export finance, and intercultural communication.

    “As well as being useful for skills and information, the workshops were a great networking opportunity for everyone involved, and they were really well attended,” said programme manager Dr Alison Kuiper.

    Japanese student Miki Akemitsu joined the Woolyarns New Zealand team, and worked with new contacts in the Japanese textile market. 

    “There’s a huge advantage in that Miki could contact people directly and speak to them in their language,” said marketing manager Jimad Khan.

    Miki also researched Japanese importing legislation and scouted important locations in the Japanese market, which Jimad said helped speed up the process of learning about the new market.

    The three-month programme was a partnership between the university and ENZ, and was supported by Wellington Regional Economic Development Agency (WREDA). 

    “International students are increasingly looking for practical work experience to complement their learning, and lift their future employment prospects,” said Sarah Gauthier, Regional Project Manager at Education New Zealand.

    “These internships were highly valued by all the students involved as a stepping stone in their career development, as well as by the companies they worked for.”

  • Study with New Zealand online launched for adult professional learners

    The Study with New Zealand Online platform – an outcome of the Strategic Recovery Plan for International Education 2020 – is a New Zealand owned and branded platform that offers global learners a new way to engage with a New Zealand education.  

    Study with New Zealand Online has up to 60 courses available from 20 + education providers. 

    ENZ’s General Manager – Sector Engagement, Wendy Kerr, said the pilot learning platform aims to tap into the adult professional learner market. 

    “Our research shows that there is a significant career-oriented, adult learner market that is looking for ways to advance within their current career. Study with New Zealand Online aims to tap into that market and test if there is value in what New Zealand can offer uniquely.  

    “Good examples of courses unique to New Zealand are a short course on sustainability in the wine industry delivered by NMIT | Te Pūkenga. If you are in the wine industry, you clearly know New Zealand wines and our expertise in sustainability. The same goes for an ECE course offered by Te Rito Maioho ECNZ, which showcases New Zealand’s bicultural approach in this field.”  

    Kerr says, “We know how hard the pandemic was on international education. We know this project is about exploring new and different ways to deliver, and new and different audiences for, the New Zealand education experience. The goal is to diversify and build resilience.”  

    Findings from the Study with New Zealand Online pilot will help inform insights and recommendations on how New Zealand’s education sector could transform to a more sustainable future state through the diversification of our international education offerings.
