Study Auckland local agent forum

Thirty-five Study Auckland member institutions from north and west Auckland connected with 60 Auckland-based agents at a Local Agent Forum on 31 May.

Connections were made via a series of 15-minute meetings plus networking over lunch at the Hilton Auckland.

“It was a great day and well organised,” said Lesley King, Director of International Students at Glen Eden Intermediate School. 

“Meeting local agents is always worthwhile and hopefully we will gain some worthwhile partnerships.”

After lunch, the agents received an update from Immigration New Zealand’s Education Sector Relationship Manager, Katy Aldcroft.

The update covered Immigration Online and the Pathway Student Visa option.

“Local agent forums have been part of Study Auckland’s work for many years, and highlight the important role onshore agents play in driving international education growth in the Auckland region,” said Study Auckland Manager, Nick Arnott.

“The agents also really appreciated the Immigration New Zealand update and the lively Q&A session that followed.”

What's in it for me?
