SUMMARY:CBIE2025 | Losing Students\, Losing Ground: What Attrition Tells Us About the International Student Experience.
DESCRIPTION:Join Wendy Curtis (Fanshawe College)\, Haley Shields (Edified)\, Elyse Pipitone (Edified) and Nannette Ripmeester (Director Expertise in Labour Mobility\, Etio) for their CBIE session about “Losing Students\, Losing Ground: What Attrition Tells Us About the International Student Experience” on November 4th at 15:45-16:45 (21:45 – 22:45 CEST) at the Centre des congrès de Québec\, 1000 Boulevard René-Lévesque E\, Québec. \nAbout the session: \n“With increasing policy scrutiny and international enrolment recalibrations\, Canadian institutions are entering a new era where retention of international students throughout every stage of their journey is no longer just a support issue—it’s a strategic imperative. Yet how many institutions are deeply examining the true cost of attrition? Not only in terms of lost revenue and sunk recruitment costs\, but also the human cost to students and families\, and the reputational risks to Canada’s brand as a welcoming and high-quality study destination. Every student who leaves early represents a lost opportunity for another learner\, a potential ambassador for Canada\, and a disrupted journey with long-term emotional and financial implications for the student. \nThis panel will connect the dots between early student experience\, the drivers of attrition\, and the multi-dimensional costs to students\, institutions\, and Canada’s international education ecosystem. Drawing on insights from the 2025 International Student Barometer (ISB) and retention data from across Canada\, Australia\, and New Zealand\, speakers will offer evidence-based reflections on where institutions can intervene earlier\, act more deliberately\, and design systems that build trust\, connection\, and resilience.” \nCBIE2025 is Canada’s International Education conference and will take place on 2-5 November 2025. This year’s conference will focus on innovation and recalibration in international education looking further into the future than ever before. The theme – The Future in Focus: Advancing International Education in Times of Uncertainty – will provide space for sector leaders\, practitioners\, and collaborators to share knowledge\, forge meaningful partnerships\, and explore new ideas to bring the future of international education into focus. \nInterested in knowing more?

SUMMARY:APAIE 2026 POSTER PRESENTATION | BEYOND BORDERS\, WITHIN REACH: GLOBAL APPROACHES TO BETTER THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT JOURNEY RELEVANT FOR ASIA-PACIFIC HEI'S
DESCRIPTION:Join Nannette Ripmeester (Expertise in Labour Mobility / etio) for an insightful APAIE poster presentation about “Beyond Borders\, Within Reach: Global approaches on to better the international student journey relevant for Asia-Pacific HEI’s” at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. \nPoster Information \nThis poster explores how insights from the International Student Barometer (ISB)—a global large scale dataset of currently enrolled international students—can be used by Higher Education Institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to improve the international student journey. Through a comparative lens\, we showcase how institutions across the globe are using ISB data leveraging international benchmarking to design stronger student journeys\, delivering the ROI that currently enrolled (and future generations of!) students are expecting from their institutions of choice. We will showcase Good Practice examples that reflect international student needs. Through case studies and visualised data comparisons\, the poster will support Asia-Pacific Higher Education Institutions in being active contributors to a global community of good practice. \nThe Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) 2026 conference scheduled on February 23-27th will foster collaboration\, innovation\, and knowledge-sharing to shape the future of international higher education as we explore the theme\, Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good\, from diverse perspectives.

SUMMARY:CIGL Lisbon 2026 | Framework First: Competency Models for Global Learning
DESCRIPTION:Join  Kate Moore  (Principal and Founder\, Global Career Centre) and Nannette Ripmeester (Director\, Expertise in Labour Mobility/etio) for their session about “Framework First: Competency Models for Global Learning” on October 12th 2026\, at 10:45 – 11:15 AM WEST (11:45 – 12:45 CET) at Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa\, Portugal. \nSession description: \nThis session examines competency frameworks across multiple domains—professional development\,\nintercultural awareness\, geographic contexts\, and industry-specific applications—and demonstrates their practical use in global learning. \nThe content emphasizes a key principle: using a structured framework matters more than selecting a specific model. Participants learn to evaluate diverse competency frameworks based on their professional context\, then apply them confidently across program development\, coaching\, and assessment. The session includes interactive exercises to identify relevant competencies\, examples from different contexts\, and practical application strategies. This approach addresses the growing need to demonstrate ROI and relevance in competency-based terms. Rather than prescribing a single solution\, the session aims to equip participants as they select and implement frameworks appropriate to their institutional needs and professional goals. \nThe Forum’s Careers\, Internships\, and Global Learning (CIGL) conference scheduled on October 11-13th will will bring together leaders in career services\, international education\, and industry to reimagine how we prepare students for a rapidly evolving global workforce. Additionally\, this conference will explore how immersive international experiences cultivate career readiness and spark innovation.  For more information on the CIGL conference\, click here.
