Strengthening ties with Chilean education agents
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) recently welcomed Whitecliffe College to the New Zealand Embassy in Chile for an exclusive session with local education agents, building capability and trust.
The event brought together a group of Chilean education agents for an opportunity to connect with ENZ Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo and Whitecliffe Regional Manager Lorena Mendes.
The attending agents learned about study options for Chilean students at Whitecliffe and had the chance to ask questions in an open, interactive setting designed to support learning and strengthen relationships.
Agents highlighted an increasing interest in studying in New Zealand amongst students, noting a significant increase in meetings and enquiries.

ENZ Director of Engagement Javiera Visedo said strengthening relationships with agents and capability building is key to increasing awareness of New Zealand and its diverse study options.
“Nothing compares to a face-to-face training session, where agents can raise day-to-day questions from students and have them answered on the spot,” she said.
Whitecliffe College Regional Manager, Lorena Mendes, said Chile is a market with enormous potential and a key partner for international student growth in New Zealand.
“Here, we find professionalism, warmth, and a genuine interest in continually offering students the best opportunities for them,” she said.
