- School sector focused education agent workshop in Asia
- Cost-effective way to recruit international students and build partnerships with agents
About online workshops
School Focus team is happy to introduce the following online workshops for schools and agents:
Schools + Asia-Pacific agents, 17 August 2022
Schools + European and African agents, 14 September 2022
Schools + South American agents, 26/27 October 2022
The workshops will help agents and schools to meet online and stay connected. To make sure that the schools will meet well-targeted agents we
- advertise participating schools to agents from Asia, Europe, Africa and South America
- carefully screen the participating agents and check references
- set the event at a time that is a reasonable compromise between the time zones of agents and schools.
How does it work
Two weeks before each event, schools and agents will get access to the online appointment system to arrange meetings. The event will go as a series of one to one video conference meetings between schools and agents. In this way, the format will be similar to our face to face events. Each event is 3 hours long and consists of 9 meetings.
Technology
The schedule of meetings will have the links to meeting rooms on Jitsi. The technology is simple to use, and there is no need to install any software to your computer. You will need a stable internet connection, a working camera and a microphone. We shall suggest ways to test that it is working before the event.
Cost
For schools, the cost of participation in the online workshop is AUD 480.
For eligible agents, participation is free.
To be eligible, an agency needs to provide 2 references from educators, preferebly from schools.
