Outcomes Report – Cairns workshop on International Education in Regional Australia
The Australian Government Department of Education and Training supported Study Cairns to develop and host a workshop on opportunities for international education (IE) in regional Australia. Sixty seven participants attended the IEW Workshop held on 4th November at the Pullman International Hotel in Cairns.
This one-day workshop developed strategies to enhance international students’ awareness of the opportunity of studying in regional areas of Australia. It follows the launch of the National Strategy for International Education 2025 released in April 2016.
The workshop was designed as an action-focused activity preceded by two local and state IET events held in Cairns the previous day. These included the bi-annual Qld IET Study Custer meeting and an International Student Welcome Ceremony, including a formal welcome to the city by Mayor Bob Manning. A dinner for delegates after the workshop completed the related activities.
