Hi everyone! Here at Schools & Agents we’ve been busy gearing up for an exciting week ahead – the highly-anticipated IALC Workshop in Cardiff from 11-14th April. As the event approaches, we’ve taken the opportunity to reconnect with industry partners and schools, laying the groundwork for a productive and engaging experience.

Reconnecting with industry partners

In the lead-up to the IALC Workshop, we’ve been meeting with industry organisations and schools from various countries, including Argentina, Malta, and the USA, to reestablish connections and explore opportunities for collaboration. During the COVID-19 pandemic the international education industry was hit hard, forcing some of our member schools to pause their membership with us. We completely understand the unique challenges the pandemic presented, but we’d like to extend an open invitation to any schools and partners who may have temporarily suspended their memberships to get in touch if they want to discuss restarting these relationships. 

IALC: Embracing digital marketing for agents

This year Schools & Agents will be hosting a dedicated workshop for international agents on the first day of the IALC Workshop in Cardiff. This will focus on digital marketing tools and strategies specifically tailored for agents, a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to international education relationships. We’ll be providing valuable insights and practical tips for agents to keep their target audiences in mind. By sharing our expertise in this area, we hope to empower agents with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively reach and engage with prospective students.

Although we won’t be posting our regular Schools & Agents Bulletin video next Friday, do stay tuned for plenty of live updates and insights from the event as we take to social media to share our experiences along the way. We look forward to catching up with our industry partners and member schools at this exciting event! See you there!
