On Tuesday, 20 February 2024, the AVPI together with Industry Northern Territory, hosted the Darwin International Education Consultation.
Following the AVPI Darwin Roundtable, the AVPI and Industry Northern Territory brought together new participants and hosted the International Education Consultation. Building on the successful education roundtable in Perth last October, this consultation focused on the role of education in enhancing education links between Australia and Vietnam from a Northern Territory perspective.
There is need to build even deeper education connections between Australia and Vietnam. Participants shared fresh perspectives on what needs to be done to further develop bilateral education links, better utilise alumni and help international students recognise bicultural competency as a valuable skill they can bring to the workforce.
Thank you to Cathy White, Deputy CEO, Business and Workforce, Dept. Industry, Tourism and Trade for co-facilitating for education consultation. The insights from this discussion will form an appendix to the previously released AVPI Summary Paper on enhancing education links.
