]]> Tony Adams, an international education consultant and former pro vice-chancellor for international at Macquarie University in Australia, told the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) annual conference: ‘There is almost no industry that has survived the global downturn as higher education has. That means there are boardrooms around the world saying, ‘Where can we put our money so it can survive the next crisis and we can continue to grow?’ What we are about to see is a huge private investment into international higher education.’ Times Higher Education, 22 July 2010

]]> I am an education agent, recruiting mainly from Russia and surrounding countries, who has decided that, after 11 years and with the current major changes to the industry, it is time to do other things. Over this time my agency has built up the following resources:
  1. a Russian-language website with online forums – www.australianeducation.ru

  2. a portfolio of current contracts with education providers (universities, institutes, language schools, private secondary schools) in several States (can be supplied upon request)

  3. an impeccable reputation that would facilitate the transfer of any contracts to another suitable interested agent.

I am hoping to interest another agent(s), particularly those wanting a presence in Russia and surrounding countries, in taking over any or all of the above resources. My contact details below:

]]> International Vision Education (www.ive.com.au) is an international education consultancy working with a range of institutions in Australia, Europe and North America. We are an Australian-based company with a solid agent network in Asia and beyond, but are now seeking to grow this base as our clientele develops.
As Australia’s creative industries sector is growing both at home and abroad, institutions specializing in the creative industries are focusing more keenly on internationalization and education export. We have a growing number of clients from this exciting education sector (VET and HE) and are therefore seeking expressions of interest from agents who can promote these institutions.
The creative industries include:
  • Photography

  • Animation/Digital Media

  • Music Performance

  • Fashion

  • Sound Production

  • Film and Television Production

  • Entertainment Management

Expressions of interest should be brief and by email only, as we are also a Pier testing centre and do not wish to disturb test candidates. Please include the country/countries you represent, a contact phone number and a website if you have one. Email info@ive.com.au and we will contact you if we wish to continue the discussion.

]]> On 9th April we introduced two new products we’ve been developing: PIER Agency finder and Counsellor Dashboard. Today we’d like to tell you about the PIER Agency Finder, and why it’s an important and useful tool for a range of oragnisations and education providers.

The ESOS Amendment Act (new subsection 21A) which comes into effect Thursday, 3rd June 2010 requires all Australian education providers listed on CRICOS to provide a searchable list of their recruiting agencies on their own website.

The online location of this information must be readily accessible to students and regulators and must include the agency name, name of principal agent, legal entity and street address.

PIER Agency Finder will help organisations easily meet this new requirement at no cost by providing simple tools to manage your agents and display them publicly on an interactive, up-to-date map.

For more information on obtaining the PIER Agency Finder for your organisation, please visit www.pierapps.com. To view the Agency Finder in action, visit the ACPET Agent Directory. ACPET has shown great initiative in contributing to the development of the Agency Finder.
