Study Gold Coast, supported by Study Queensland hosted two Destination Showcase events to highlight the plethora of opportunities accessible on Gold Coast for Indian students. The event communicated a horizon of opportunities offered on the Gold Coast and addressed their queries. The event was as a one-stop destination for the attendees to learn more about the Gold Coast and have their concerns about the higher education scenario in Australia resolved. 

Elaborating the discussed topics at the event, Mathew Johnston, Minister Counsellor (Education and Research) for South Asia, Australian High Commission said ‘Education is the flagship sector of the bilateral relationship.  Our two Prime Ministers met recently reaffirming their commitment to the Australia India-Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) With a view to expanding and optimizing the long-standing India Australia education and skilling relationship and acknowledging the different systems in the two countries for the recognition of education qualifications.

Seconding the Minister’s address, Jennine Tax, Head of Partnerships & Trade, Study Gold Coast, said, “I am extremely delighted on receiving such a good response from the industry stakeholders. The primary motive of this on-ground event was to present the gamut of courses to counsellors with an opportunity to explore and in turn share the suitable courses along with the job prospects when students seek guidance. The attendees interacted directly with the key representatives of higher education institutions. Presently over 100 agents, individual counsellors and consultants attended the events.”

Representatives at the event covered a wide gamut of queries that ranged from admission and post-study stay options, grants and scholarships for students, employable industries, salary expectations for graduates in different sectors, etc. Health, business and tourism courses witnessed the most interest and had the highest queries from the attendees.
