Throughout April and May, international students had the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurial skills and to further develop their entrepreneurial mindset, skillset and toolset. Finalists from our Change the Game Challenge (Entrepreneurship Program) are now invited to pitch their ideas during the Study NSW Careers Expo for International Students. Their pitches will showcase the work they have undertaken over the past six weeks.
Participants of the Study NSW Future Leaders will be pitching their business and community leadership solutions they've designed based on topics or themes given by their partner organisation. Working as consultants, they will walk through their strategies to win over their case study. You're invited to come and cheer them on as they propose the best version of themselves to problem solve.
The International Student Welcome Desk is a flagship program allowing current international students to gain work experience and increase their employability skills by assisting newly arrived students to NSW. The Volunteer Recognition Ceremony will highlight all international students who have completed a set number of hours as student team leaders and volunteers, and will receive formal acknowledgement for their achievements, contributions and efforts.
