NETWORKING THE NEW NORMAL

With Australia’s open borders and the influx of international students returning to WA, ASC International (ASCI) is developing new networks to build enrolments for the ASC Language School and ASC schools. An essential part of this process is networking and developing relationships with organisations both domestically and internationally. At a local level, ASCI works closely with agents, connecting students from around the world to our schools. Other networking events take place in a global context through national and international organisations, conferences and school fairs. Director of International Todd Flanagan recently attended the ASC Australian International Education Conference (AIEC) held at the Gold Coast in Queensland. Mr Flanagan said attending targeted international education events provided an opportunity to showcase the uniqueness and quality of the ASC and its schools. “AIEC is a good example of how those involved in educating international students work together in developing this important market for the Australian economy,” he said. “With more than 1600 international education professionals in attendance, information gathered at AIEC can have a significant effect on current global trends and markets, and contacts made can result in developing new areas of focus to increase the enrolments to ASCI, and ultimately into our ASC schools.” Mr Flanagan said attending the conference also provided the opportunity to raise the ASC’s national profile.

“ASCI’s representation at events such as the Australian International Education Conference provides a vital opportunity to develop ongoing relationships, particularly as ASC begins to build its operation as a national education provider.” After a challenging few years, international education is recovering from the effects of the global pandemic, with the numbers of international students returning to pre-Covid levels. Mr Flanagan said this meant ASCI was well positioned to reach a historical enrolment record of international students and continue to provide pathways for students seeking a first-class education within ASC schools throughout Australia.

“International education is a major economic driver for Western Australia and Australia. One of the priority sectors of our government is to significantly increase the number of international students and grow the international education sector,” Mr Flanagan said.
