Creating a structured pathway between international talent and New Zealand businesses

The Challenge
Many international students struggle to demonstrate local workplace experience, while businesses can find it difficult to identify and prepare suitable international talent.

The Approach
Through IBSN NZ, I developed a structured ecosystem connecting students with businesses, professionals and industry experts. The focus is on practical training, local experience, job readiness and meaningful business connections.

The Result

  • Students gain practical NZ-market exposure
  • Businesses gain access to better-prepared talent
  • Industry professionals can contribute mentoring and expertise
  • Stronger connections between education, business and employment
  • A structured pathway from learning to workplace experience
