CISaustralia has released its Summer 2024-2025 programming, cultural excursions and support scholarships. The launch of their summer programs includes a $1,500 scholarship to the USA for all students, a new 4 day snow trip in Japan, a new on-line summer brochure, a range of academic specific flyers and a limited number of WIL placements to Peru, South Africa, New Zealand, the Philippines and Zambia.
Speaking to The Koala, Brad Dorahy, CEO CISaustralia says “all programs are supported by Learning Abroad fundamentals with a timely reminder as to why students go abroad and the many benefits for both students and Australian Universities;
- Enhanced student engagement
- Global partnerships (branding) and academic credibility
- Improved Retention
- Improved Employability
- Institutional rankings and ratings
- Learning Abroad as a key domestic recruitment tool
Dorahy is clearly proud of CISaustralia’s achievements. Now in its 12th year, he says the organisation “has gathered a comprehensive suite of industry research associated with Australian Learning Abroad, with over 80 individual research articles, sector insights, industry articles, surveys, editorials, reviews, case studies and white papers gathered in one central place for everyone in the sector to access and benefit from.”
