Inbound expertise – host an intern from South and Southeast Asia

ENZ recently announced a competition to drive greater awareness of New Zealand in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The competition, which is now open, invites students currently enrolled in undergraduate programmes in business, marketing or related disciplines at selected institutions, to submit a marketing strategy.

The strategy must promote New Zealand as an education destination in the student’s own country over a 12 month period. The students must illustrate how it will form part of an overarching three-year strategy with an indicative budget and clear details around return on investment. We will be looking for creative, critical and innovative strategies which demonstrate new thinking and fresh ideas in line with ENZ’s ‘Think New’ brand values.

ENZ welcomes expressions of interest from providers who are looking to grow their engagement with any or all of the five markets and who are keen to host one or more interns for up to four weeks in July or August this year. ENZ is fully-funding the programme and is looking to partner with providers who can ideally manage the internship process from start to finish. We are also very interested in having providers participate in the selection of the competition winners noting the competition closes 6 June for India and 8 June for South East Asia. Winners will be announced 19 June.

If you are interested in taking up this opportunity to benefit from new perspectives and understanding market nuances from a fresh angle, please send through an email by 10am Tuesday 2 June to Francesca.Hilbron@enz.govt.nz with a summary of your market interests and preferred country or countries, activity or projects that could engage an intern, and confirmation that you are likely to be able to host during the July/August period.
