Webinar: Bettering China digital recruiting for American educators
WATCH WEBINAR
Less than a decade ago, recruiting Chinese international students meant enlisting local agents, frequent trips to China and lots of time building local connections. Now, COVID has catalysed the pivot to digital marketing as the primary tool to find and foster connections with potential students. But China's ever-evolving digital ecosystem creates challenges for America's higher educator providers. So how do recruiters make that personal connection without the same in-person presence? In this webinar, our expert panel discusses how the education sector can re-shape its recruitment approach to overcome these barriers.
Watch this recording to learn:
- Insights into Chinese international students' demands and priorities have changed since COVID, and where they're headed.
- How to utilise different digital platforms to best target students and their parents.
- Strategies to develop trust and credibility with a Chinese audience using digital tools.
- Mistakes to avoid when marketing to Chinese students.
- Ways of overcoming the challenges facing international recruiters in 2022 and beyond.
