Today, students are going abroad at younger and younger ages, whether it be to refine their language skills, experience other cultures, gain confidence and independence, or increase their chances of acceptance at a well-ranked higher education institution overseas.

This desire to explore the possibility of an international education often starts in the early teenage years when students are hungry for options and helpful advisors and guidance counsellors can steer them in the right direction.

Given that they work with students on a regular basis and see them day in and day out, secondary school counsellors have a good sense of what students need and which type of educational environment will enable each one to flourish.

This makes them an invaluable resource for international institutions who are keen to understand market demand and tap into an influential audience early in the student journey.

Given the current limitations around travel, BMI is running a series of four online events in March and April to help professionals in international education keep in contact and build new networks.

In fact, institutions can expand their global connections beyond international schools and counsellors. Our Partnership Workshop Series provides you with a concise format to meet three different types of partners in one event, with each workshop focused on a different geographic region. Each event runs for two days and enables you to arrange meetings in advance with overseas universities, agents, and high school counsellors.
