Regional partner support

We support regions to identify how they can attract and retain international students, and how international education can benefit those regions by contributing to the economy, supporting workforce and talent needs, and enriching communities socially and culturally. We do this by co-funding or seed funding projects that align with government strategic goals and priorities, such as those found in the International Education Strategy 2022 – 2030.

A key aim of ENZ’s work in the regions has been to support a sustainable model of regional international education development. We work alongside regional economic development agencies and other relevant bodies to help regions identify opportunities for development and growth, alignment with national and regional skills needs, and ultimately achieve a greater balance across regions.
